Past and Pen is produced by Sweet Meadowlark Stories and created by Rosie Talley.
About the Host:
Rosie is an award-winning author living in the wilds of West Texas, where tumbleweeds roll, and the coffee never runs dry. When she’s not wrangling her preschooler, dodging laundry piles like a caffeinated acrobat, or teaming up with her husband to manage the delightful chaos, she’s busy crafting stories and sharing the wonders of history through her podcast, Past and Pen.
A self-proclaimed cheese enthusiast, Rosie believes creativity is best fueled by gouda.
Rosie is the author of the Linus the Troll series, a collection of picture books that reimagine the classic troll tale. Linus, a knobby-kneed, yellow-eyed troll with a heart of gold, teaches young readers that true beauty comes from kindness and what’s inside, showing that appearances don’t define us.
Through her books and Past and Pen, Rosie inspires young minds to explore stories, both real and imagined, sparking curiosity and creativity in every adventure.
