Sandra leaps off the garden trails of her herbal-researcher-turned-amateur-sleuth (Port Aster Secrets) series, to the museum corridors of her plucky FBI art crime agent Serena Jones, in A Fool and His Monet.

Her novels have garnered numerous awards, including the National Readers' Choice Award, a Holt Medallion Award of Merit, an RT Book Reviews Reviewers' Choice Award, the Daphne DuMaurier Award of Excellence and five national Canadian Awards.

Thanks for connecting with me, Sandra. My daughter's mother-in-law (from the Toronto area) was visiting us in Colorado and she shared with me how much she enjoyed your books. From one author to another author, I wish you the best!
