Profile Information:

Something About Me and My Book:
Sandra Carrington-Smith is an Italian-born author who relocated to the United States in the late 80’s after marrying a US soldier who was serving overseas. Although writing was Sandra’s deepest passion since childhood, her dream of becoming a published author had to be placed on hold for several years. Moving to a new country provided several challenges, the biggest one being the language barrier she encountered when she first arrived. In order to become fully integrated, Sandra tapped into her love for reading, and over time her vocabulary grew extensively. She gave birth to three children and devoted most of her time to raising a family. By the time she was in her late 30’s, Sandra decided to revisit her old passion for writing, and penned a novel of paranormal suspense, The Book of Obeah, followed by a self-improvement book, Housekeeping for the Soul: A Practical Guide to Restoring Your Inner Sanctuary. Both titles were sold to the same publisher and released in 2010, and The Book of Obeah went on to win an international book award. Currently, Sandra is working on two new novels: The Rosaries (the sequel of The Book of Obeah) and Shadows of a Tuscan Moon. Sandra Carrington-Smith lives in Raleigh, NC, with her husband, children and three cats. Her new southern novel, Killer in Sight (A Tom Lackey Mystery) was launched on June 16, 2012.

    Thanks! The Light of Asteria is a young adult fantasy that I wrote for my daughter. She loved it and her friends wanted a copy, several revisions and a whole lot of prayer later and voila! Here I am talking to you fine people on a site I would have never found otherwise. I love the way life works :-)
