About the Author
R. K. J. Sprock grew up in the bottomlands of Missouri, four miles from the river with a train track directly in front of her house. Being homeschooled gave her more free time to explore, read, raise animals, and be active in the local 4-H club.

Sprock started writing stories when she was nine years old and poetry shortly after. She found inspiration all around her-in nature, in music, from personal experience, and stories she heard from people around her. She reads a lot and almost any genre, but historical fiction is her favorite.

The Black Sparrow is a 520-page paperback with a retail price of $29.00. The ISBN is 978-1-6442-6143-9. It was published by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
