Why Sparrowhawk Stories?

When I wrote my first novel when I was twelve (a science-fantasy adventure that may or may not have taken place in the Star Wars galaxy), I named the main spaceship The Sparrowhawk. That story reignited a passion for storytelling in me, and I had my first photography and writing published within a year!

Sparrowhawk Stories is a celebration of dreaming, exploring and not being afraid to try new things and go on adventures.
