You all remember sweet little Rosie Marshall, the girl who crashed and burned on Sparrow Hill Road, don't you? Well, Rose's story is done now, but that doesn't mean that there aren't pieces missing.

I'm in the process of taking the twelve stories written during 2010 and turning them into a single episodic narrative. This is basically the "novel length" Sparrow Hill, and like any good expansion, it needs a little bonus content. So.

I need one more story to tell; one more episode or incident from Rose's world. It can be a flashback, but I should be able to fit it somewhere in the middle of the overall narrative—so before "Faithfully" and "Thunder Road," but somewhere after "Last Dance With Mary Jane."

What do you want to see? I can't promise to take your request in specific, but if you tell me where you think the holes are, there's a chance I can fill the one that's most important to you.

Actually, I do like the idea of a story about how Rose *learned* to be a road ghost. We hear all about how she knows all the things she knows about the road. But she didn't always know. An early story of her figuring it out would be interesting.

That or, as others have said, a story focusing on her friendship with Emma. Maybe how they first met.

That may be too much flashback for the middle of the book, but I'll poke at it.
