About this author

I grew up on a farm in western New York. I currently live in central Iowa. I work in IT by day and train dogs and write books by night. I live with a Rottweiler, a German Pinscher and a lot of books.

I am a fan of flyover country, wide open spaces, weather, books, working dogs, gutsy heroines and steadfast heroes.

My first novel, Wide Open, was published by Tor on March 13, 2012. My second novel Deep Down is out March 5, 2013.


Slide1Thanks to a helpful cover-making tutorial by Jenn Reese (she actually did the great cover for Cowgirls in Space a while back) I’ve put some of my short stories up as ebooks. In particular, this includes some of the stories I originally published in Asimov’s and that aren’t available elsewhere.

"Thanks, Sandie! SO glad you enjoyed it. And thanks for letting me know! "
Winterling by Sarah Prineas
" When I asked my daughter how many stars to give this book, on a scale of one to five, she said ten. Thinking she'd misunderstood, because, well, she's eight, I reiterated that it was a scale of one to five. She exclaimed, "I KNOW! I meant it's OFF... "

I thought this started slowly and I abandoned it once a year or two ago, but this time I was listening to it in my car and I managed to get past the slow part and to the good parts.

Overall, I liked this a lot. I loved the world building and the chara...more

Give Up the Ghost
by Megan Crewe (Goodreads Author)
I liked this book quite a bit and particular I liked the characters who felt like potentially real teens. I liked that when someone died it was a big deal, that no one was perfect or perfectly bad. I liked that people talked and confronted and that t...more
Mistress of the Art of Death by Ariana Franklin
Loved this book!

I'd looked at it a couple of times and thought it wasn't a book for me. It's a mystery, which I always like, but a woman doctor in the 12th century in England seemed not my sort of thing. But it was! It was totally my thing. It has lu...more
The Goose Girl by Shannon Hale
This was fun.

I particularly loved Ani's progression from awkward to confident. It was well-paced and completely believable. This is a book that takes its time, does what it needs to do and creates a character that the reader can believe has loyal fri...more

So, I read The Unknown Ajax years ago and it's one of the Heyer books I like, but not necessarily in the category of prime favorites. However, it's a terrific audiobooks and may actually be one of my favorite Heyer audiobooks You get the full flavor...more
