When Littleton local John Rosa was a child, he used to write comic books. He also wrote for his student newspapers in middle and high school. He went on to become a journalist, even working as an editor at Colorado Community Media.

Now, Rosa has come full circle back to fiction. He’s taken his creative mind and writing skills to the next level in his first novel, “Sons of Potenza,” which he self-published on Amazon in October. Although Rosa is also busy with his current communications job at the Colorado Department of Human Services, he made time to work on the novel in pieces.
