On Gumption!

Sandra — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 21:30:44 +0000

Sunday, March 14, my daughter Rachel and son-in-law Pete did something I can’t even conceive of doing — they ran thirteen miles. Which in my opinion means they’re only half crazy — as in, thirteen miles equals half of twenty-six, which is a MARATHON. I’ve got to hand it to runners who feel the urge [...]

On Writing

Sandra — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 18:36:09 +0000

TOUGH CUSTOMER is in the can and off to my new editor (same house–new editor). I hope you all enjoy reading about Dodge as much as I enjoyed writing about him! I know to my readers, five more months seems like such a long time to wait for my next new release, but here in [...]

February Already?

Amie — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 15:15:29 +0000

Whew! A lot has happened since my last post. I went away to work on the final draft of TOUGH CUSTOMER (Gotta love Dodge Hanley, warts and all!) While I was away from home all hell broke loose. The Dallas/Ft. Worth area got a foot of snow! A foot! Now, I [...]

Quick Catch Up

Sandra — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 17:36:16 +0000

Thanks to the many of you who’ve emailed me that you’re giving copies of RAINWATER or SMASH CUT for Christmas gifts. I love being a Christmas present! I received an unexpected treat while in New York — tickets to the Il Divo Christmas concert, courtesty of my son Ryan and daughter-in-law, Victoria. She’s [...]

Happy New Year!

Sandra — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 21:28:39 +0000

I celebrated my first White Christmas this year! It snowed in north Texas most of Christmas Eve, stopping around midnight. Christmas Day dawned clear, but with a healthy coating of white on the ground. (You from snowy states are no doubt snickering, but for me, this was a big deal!) Anyway, [...]

Dashing Through the Airport

Sandra — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 18:19:36 +0000

Don’t be misled. Just because I don’t always respond to your posts, doesn’t mean I don’t read them. Thank you for the wonderful things you’ve said about RAINWATER. Thanks especially to those who have left reviews or posts on other blogs about it. And thanks to those of you who’ve said you [...]

What Readers are Saying About Rainwater

Sandra — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 20:01:49 +0000

Gail from Olney said, “Could not put down Rainwater. I got it yesterday and just finished it.” Kay Alston wrote to say, “I purchased Rainwater today and couldn’t put it down…this is your absolute BEST. A masterpiece.” Sue said, “Loved your new book, Rainwater.” Kim agreed and added, “I was so touched by it, I wound up [...]

Celebration of Reading

Sandra — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 17:20:37 +0000

Last night was one of my favorite nights of the year — the Celebration of Reading event in Dallas, hosted by President George and Barbara Bush. Don’t be misled by the cane he now uses. Our 85-year-old former president is as feisty as ever! This annual event, and others like it, are fund-raisers for community literacy programs, [...]

Correct Address for Doritos Commercial

Sandra — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 01:22:31 +0000

My apologies! We sent out a newsletter about Michael’s Doritos commercial and inadvertently transposed two letters in his email address. You can reach Michael here! And in case you missed the newsletter and are wondering what we’re talking about, you can check out Michael’s Crash the Super Bowl Entry here.

Texas Book Festival Recap

Sandra — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 22:37:21 +0000

Last weekend I attended the Texas Book Festival. Saw friends, including former columnist John Anders and his wife Helen Bryant-Anders, who’s a feature writer for the Austin Statesman. She had just finished RAINWATER and wanted to talk about that. But I had to share the stage, so to speak, with Ryan. She’d also read his galley for [...]
