Author bio:
Sandy high-fives to you from Va. Beach. I've been writing novels and short stories since '99. My first published novel is for pet lovers of all ages. "Gabby...All About Me" is a story about an unpublished author who adopts an unwanted pooch...together they become an unbeatable team. My second pet novel "Pets In Paradise" is now out and I'll admit, it's the most fun write I've done. Heartwarming for all pet lovers. I live with my dear wife who fills the role of editor since she's a graduate of UNC. Her support and assistance makes writing much easier. We live on the beach in a small coastal area known as Sandbridge Beach. I enjoy writing, surfing, fishing, playing the drums, and spending time on the coast with my wife. My motto is: Keep smilin'...and paddle hard for every wave...it might be your best ride. My novels are available here and Kindle.
