Hi,

Thanks for stopping by!

I've written four novels, with three published so far.

The first one will likely never be published - it was a learner book and receieved its full share of rejection before I consigned it to the file box.

My fourth completed, and third published, novel, A Perfect Body, was released in May 2009 as an E-book. A Perfect Body is a contemporary sweet romance, in which the leading characters must deal with eating disorders in those they love, while coming to grips with their own habits.

Acts of Love, my second published book, is a cozy mystery/ romance/women's fiction, featuring Amanda Reed, an aromatherapist with two cats and a secret past. It was released as an e-book on December 1, 2008.

I titled my first published book Jenny's Legacy. It's a contemporary sweet romance featuring a psychic heroine.

Jenny's Legacy was originally published in 2006 in hardcover. In 2008, Jenny's Legacy was re-released as an e-book.

I also write non-fiction as Sandra Smith, although I've let most of that go the past few years, so I could focus on fiction. My articles appeared in various national and regional publications, as well as on the Internet. In 2009, I compiled all my jewelry and gemstone articles into a small book titled Bewitched, Bedazzled, and Bejeweled: A Collection of Facts and Folklore About Gems and Jewelry and made it available as a Kindle download.

I'm currently a member of Romance Writers of America.

In the past, I've been involved in animal welfare; and also volunteered as a literacy tutor for many years. I'm a vegetarian, a chocolate lover, and a caffeine fiend.

Reading is my greatest joy in life.
