Between The Pages of A Book . . . A Lovely Place To Be!
Sandi K. Whipple
EARLY & NOW
Don't we all just love talking about ourselves? I'd like to tell you I'm flawless, but then you'd know right away it was a lie. But someone once told me I could hide most of my many flaws really well with the help of glue, paper clips, duct tape, and of course a smile! I'm just a non-award winning, non-bestselling, self-published author.
Born in Waukegan, Illinois, I lived in the SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA for most of my life. In 2000, I bought a home on the Internet, packed up a U-Haul, and though I'd never been there and I knew no one, I moved to North Dakota. Kinda' crazy, huh? Most of my friends said that after one winter I'd return to the California sunshine. Well, that never happened. I'm now proud to be a member of a small community of less than 500 wonderful people where I can witness and experience the way of life most can only dream about. I abhor liars, sneakers, cheaters, thieves, drugs, any form of dishonesty, and disloyalty! Sadly, I'm truly unforgiving to all of them! I'm just someone who happens to be a very proud VETERAN of THE UNITED STATES ARMY , and a grandmother who has an awesome life.

WRITING
I've always maintained my work ethic with a strong emphasis on professionalism. But now that I'm retired, I have surprisingly new desires. I want to acquire skills and abilities in the written word. I consider engaging in putting my imagination into words for others to read, as time well spent. My friends, and the readers of my work are important to me. I found that I like writing as it occupies my time, keeps my mind moving in many different directions, and I enjoy it mostly because I do it for me! I think reading and owning a book are two of life's many pleasures.
I started writing in 2007 while temporarily stranded in a wheelchair. After sharing my disappointment with a friend regarding a novel I'd read, the friend suggested I write one of my own. Loving Adonis was written in September 2007 and then stuck in a drawer. A few months later, Twisted Engagement followed, though a novel in a completely different direction. It too ended up in a drawer. In January 2014, the two first drafts were removed from the drawer, "Tweaked" a little, and after some fine tuning, they were published for everyone's enjoyment. I write only 'stand alone', novels, no sequels.
So what else do I tell you about me? I have to admit, I'm much better at answering questions. If you have any, just click on "Contact Me", send me an e-mail, and I'll shoot you an answer.
CURRENT JOURNEY
I've been enjoying the career of a retired individual who writes novels, and to date, I have published four successful stand alone romance novels.Surprising to even myself, I'm currently working on my fifth! A good book, a glass of GOOD Champagne (that I love), with Kenny G music, while reading or writing . . .well, what's better than that? I'm a lover of chocolate, animals, golf, music, sunny days, good romance novels, my granddaughter, and did I mention chocolate?
