Sandy Semerad has been
making up stories in her head since childhood. She was born in Geneva, Alabama,
to an eccentric, talented mother and entrepreneurial father. Her dad died when
she was seven, and after he passed her mother’s Viking spirit compelled her to
travel, taking her two daughters hither and yon, far outside the confines of their
small Alabama town. Sandy earned a journalism degree from Georgia State
University in Atlanta. She has worked as a model, newspaper reporter,
broadcaster, columnist and news editor. She
has two grown daughters, Rene and Andrea and a granddaughter Cody. She and
husband Larry live in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida with P-Nut, their spoiled Shih
Tzu and wayward cat, “Miss Kitty.”
Books We Love has published three of Sandy’s
novels: SEX, LOVE, & MURDER
(Mystery); HURRICANE HOUSE (Mystery); A MESSAGE IN THE ROSES (Romantic Thriller)

Her latest novel, A MESSAGE IN THE ROSES, is based on a murder trial she covered as a newspaper reporter in Atlanta.
Warning: It contains steamy Romance.
“A Message in the Roses is both lovely and exciting, a nail biter to the quick. It brings a delightful combination of journalistic craft and romantic prose that warms the heart and steams up the room,” says Dave Straub former CNN anchor, white House reporter and NBC Presidential Advisor.

Sandy’s first book SEX,
LOVE & MURDER (previously Mardi
Gravestone) combines the mystique of Mardi Gras with the soulful spirit of
New Orleans, adds a suspicious accident, a plot against the U. S. President, a
mysterious suitcase and a crystal necklace from a graveyard psychic. "A very intriguing mystery," says Romantic Times.
Both HURRICANE HOUSE and SEX, LOVE & MURDER feature the same crystal
necklace. Question to readers: Do you think the necklace has magical powers?
