Rosie

We awake, Rosie’s on the chair.

Let’s sneak out of bed—she’s following!

Run away quick, we squeal and laugh.

Rosie floats in silence, trailing her string.

We hide around the corner, here she comes!

Rosie slowly glides and drifts near.

Jump over her—zap, she clings to our socks!

      Your comments made my day! I believe that story was the shortest I’ve written, besides a bio…LOL.

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.
