Biographie de l'auteur

Sandra grew up in rural Illinois, discovering and investigating the banks of the Fox River with her childhood friends, who were simply referred to as "the gang." As an adult, Sandra taught 4th grade for a number of years before taking a break in order to be home with her three young children. When entering the work force again, she decided to switch gears by going back to school for an RN degree. It was after retirement from a satisfying nursing career that she discovered the joy of writing for children and drew from the lasting impact of her own easy, nostalgic look of growing up. She manages to include her grandchildren in her stories, making one or more the "star" in each of her works. Sandra resides with her husband in Elgin, Illinois, dividing her time between family, traveling and of coarse, writing.
