Grateful to ACFW (American Christian Fiction Writers) for the opportunities they give us members to write articles for other authors. I hope mine blesses any discouraged authors. The writing professionals always tell us to write what we know. What if we know messy? Don’t have a lot of Scripture memorized? Or our faith is not yet at a mature level? Can we write characters similar to us? Different than us? Or maybe at a faith-stage we lived out for ourselves several years ago?

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.
