I was born in Detroit, Michigan to Verl and Aimee Sparling. Throughout my youth, I lived in Detroit, Ferndale, and Owosso. As a child, summer vacations were always spent in the "Thumb" and to this day I feel emotionally drawn to the area. I still have family in Michigan and it will always be home to me.
For as long as I can remember, my relatives told stories about the "Dying Sparlings." This unsolved mystery has puzzled me since childhood and I've always wanted answers. I never even considered writing a book, but the opportunity to combine my love of family history and historical research appealed to me.
This is my first book. I also enjoy reading, volunteer work, playing the piano, and especially being a proud wife, mother and grandmother. I currently reside in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia with my husband, Bob. |
