mystery mavens
 


Sandy started out young, creating story ideas for her favorite television shows. The first mystery book she picked up was a Nancy Drew. But one day her cousin dropped a Stephen King book in her lap and she has been sitting on the proverbial genre fence ever since.  A fan of mysteries but also a fan of the unknown. What’s a writer to do? You combine the two.

Her Sam Casey Series features a cop who can hear the dead speak. (Think Medium with a Native American twist.) Her Chase Dagger Series blends mystery with an element of fantasy, sometimes horror, and a dash of sci-fi thrown in for the hell of it.  Chase Dagger has a dark past, a sometime fiancée, and a partner who can shift into a hawk or a wolf. Does he need a secretary? Forgetaboutit. He has a scarlet macaw with a photographic memory.

The Skull, her mystery for middle school aged readers, won the Ida Chittum Award for best mystery.

When she isn’t pounding away at her keyboard, she can be found on the golf course. Sandy is the five-time women’s club champion at her local golf course.
