A word about the author…
From a humble beginning in Newark, New Jersey, a short stay at a convent in Morristown, NJ, to the corporate world of NYC and California, Sandra Masters has always traveled with pen and notebook writing creative prose. She retired to the rural foothills of the Sierras, gateway to Yosemite National Park. It's been the journey of ten thousand miles with a few steps left to go.
She traded Board Rooms for Ball Rooms. Her business world was left behind, and she never looked back.
Nothing she expected, but everything she dreamed.
Romance is at best a gift. While she also writes contemporaries, her own passion is for Regency England in the early 1800’s. Admittedly, she’d prefer to be the sister of a duke or an earl…perhaps even a princess? Or a widow? Such endless possibilities.
As an only child, she grew up reading fairy tales, and now she writes them!
Once in a while
In the middle of ordinary life
LOVE gives us a FAIRY TALE.
Sandra lives in Coarsegold, California with her husband, Ron, who is her plotster, and their dog, Sophie.
