While caring for her children at home, Sandy penned her first book; a 50 page memoir, and was hooked. Countless titles later, the author still finds herself with new story ideas in mind. Although Sandy wouldn’t dare compare her work to any of the greats, she does love such prestigious authors as Sandra Brown, Nicholas Sparks, David Baldacci, James Patterson, Sue Grafton, and John Grisham to name a few, so you may be able to detect a taste of these authors’ styles in her books. Sandy writes mostly suspense, although she has delved into romance, young adult, and drama. You can find out more about the author at www.sandyappleyard.com.
