Sandra Barret is a native New Englander who wanted to be an archaeologist. So of course she ended up a writer for a software company. She focuses her fiction writing on science fiction and fantasy stories where strong women save the day. Two of her books (Eye of the Damned and Face of the Enemy) were Goldie award finalists. When not writing, she’s reading, gardening, and occasionally digging holes way too deep in the back of her historic home in the hopes of finding something more archaeologically significant than the ever-present coal slag. Dreams never die, they just adapt to life circumstances!
