As a child Sandra would explore the Cheshire countryside and imagine stories of little creatures that would live in the undergrowth or by a country wall, she loved fairy stories and would love to go to the library and search out old books that had a simple message and ones that another generation had cherished. Although always wanting to write, life always seemed to get in the way, so this is her first short story to be published and it is a story of friendship and the importance of home. Sandra now lives in Somerset and now her children are adults she is concentrating on writing.
