During the next fifteen years, their family was frequently transferred. She used the lessons of her youth to help her husband and two children understand "home" isn't necessarily defined by a location or the length of time spent there; it can be a state of mind nurtured by those who love each other.

When their two children reached their teen years, she seized the time to pursue interests of her own. A need to send characters along paths Sandra thought essential to the stories she was reading convinced her to take extension courses in creative writing. Her teachers, DeWanna Pace and Jodi Thomas, introduced her to Romance Writers of America. Soon thereafter, Sandra joined one of its chapters, Yellow Rose, a local organization for her at that time. She quickly realized her imagination suited romantic suspense and joined the specialty chapter Kiss of Death. Those organizations' workshops, online classes, conferences, and contests (initially as an entrant, then as a judge) helped her improve her craft and create characters driven to danger.

Sandra and her husband finally settled on a few acres in the Rocky Mountains. The rural lifestyle furnishes ever changing measures of peace and excitement. Her interests include horses, following NASCAR, and hiking in and photographing the mountains she loves.

She hopes her stories of murder, betrayal and redemption produce that Ahhh factor readers desire and that they'll enjoy the books offered within her website.
