Sparky Jones, raised in the wilds of Alaska, began writing stories in her journals when she was young. Interior Alaska's long winters and solitude made for prime writing time. Yet, all of her stories stayed locked within the pages of those childhood journals most of her life. Sparky's words and passions run deep. She has a heart for children and has been ministering to the youth of Fairbank for 20 years. When diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, she decided it was time to share her stories, so throughout chemo therapy she started editing them. Sparky lives in Fairbanks, Alaska, where she is a dispatcher for the northern most Yellow Cab Company in America, a wife, and proud mother of seven children: Lee, Sterling, CY, IvyJaden, Autumn, Latoya, and Shanika and four grandchildren.
