I’ll Be Doggoned!

IMG_1243 copyWalking, jogging, and cycling on our wonderful city park trails is a great way to begin a Saturday. My friends and I enjoy the outdoor time together, but sharing the trail is a challenge.

I walked in the middle of our side of the trail, when my hand was whacked into the air. I jumped onto my friend. A large chocolate lab on a leash ran past me with his two people alongside him. Over their shoulders they yelled, “Sorry!” and ran ahead of us.

I thought of yelling, “Glad your dog is polite!”

He thought to warn me of their encroachment into my space with his nose! He helped us avoid a painful clash. Seriously, dogs are great people!

I’m E.V. Sparrow

Coffee imbiber, chocolate connoisseur (sugar free please, so I don’t have to give it up), and the studier of personalities. My current book series of 3 is historical fiction inspired by my quirky great grandfather on my dad’s side of the family tree. On October 27, 2024, The BookFest Awards bestowed First Place in General Historical Fiction upon it! Stunningly unexpected.

Book 2 focuses on his sister’s life, and Book 3 reveals some of his son’s life.

According to many rumors, authors never stop learning. I’m studying and reading cozy mysteries for future projects. I’ve convinced myself I’ve adjusted to the black hole of writing and the author’s life. Why not add more challenges? What could happen?

Glad you’ve visited my site, and hope you’re intrigued enough for us to connect further on social media.
