The Anachronist

As most readers know, an anachronism is an element of a story that does not belong to the period in which the story is set.

Sparrow, whose origin (and birthdate) remain a mystery, is an anachronism; he definitely does not belong in the time periods of any of these stories. Even if he felt at home in any given era, his next story would almost certainly occur in a different setting.

But more than that, Sparrow is THE ANACHRONIST. Simply by being both an influential element of these stories as well as their narrator, he creates (whether intentionally, or by accident) additional elements that are inappropriate to the time and place.

The Anachronist warps the very environment around him, in subtle ways, just enough to make his audience question the setting of the story.

Novelty Novels

As some readers have discerned, Sparrow got his start in a fantasy role-playing campaign.

That campaign gave Sparrow not only his endearing personality and characteristic compulsive lying, but also a background with exceptional depth and breadth.

Through the course of more than a dozen adventures, he picked up mystical abilities, magical souvenirs, and associates who were more often unfriendly than not.

This campaign also took place in a unique world with fascinating legend and lore. If this strikes your fancy, we're sure you will enjoy Sparrow's Novelty Novels!
