About this author

When not writing books with Yvonne, I continue to work in corporate communications. Cubicle life may be less glamorous than life on a film set, but it has its appeal. For starters, I don't have to hang off buildings or face down grizzlies. Plus, I get paid to care about split infinitives, punctuation and the use of the passive voice.

I often write about technology, although I am a confirmed technophobe. I love speechwriting, but I hate speaking in public. I hate planning, but I like deadlines.

The worst job I ever had was washing towels in a gym in a creepy, roach-infested laundry room. The best job I ever had was handing out clean towels at the same gym—with an all-male staff and an open door to the men's change room.

Hi there -- Yvonne works in film and TV, so she has been behind the scenes quite a bit. She's also met quite a few people like Judy! So while The Black Sheep is fiction, we had a good jumping off point.

Thanks again for reading and take care,
Sandy


Doofenshmirtz Hi!

I haven't really been in the mood for YA fiction lately, but I'll be sure to look up your latest book in a couple months or so. :)

Out of curiosity, is The Black Sheep an accurate portrayal of how things are on the set of reality TV shows? (At least roughly?)

Please. Feel free to PM me and answer in great detail if you want.

Riza Thank you for adding me :)

Yes, I love your book and the theme about reality show really inspires me. This book teaches me several things, including being a patient person. Wow. This is really an amazing book.

I'm looking forward to your upcoming books in Indonesia ;)

Cheers,
Icha


Carmen Thanks for the add! :)
Yes, I'm really from Scarborough. I actually won my copy of "The Black Sheep" from you. hehe. Thanks for that. It's one of my treasured books. :)


message 2: by Sandy

Sandy Rideout Yes, it's a real live Toronto author. Your review was well-written and thoughtful, and I wanted to say so! (Maybe you have a career in writing ahead of you!)

Hope you like the next VLR.

Take care,
Sandy
