Sandra grew up in a quaint town in rural Texas. The small town was full of family and friends. Even still to this day, it is home. She and her husband, Ward, raised two daughters. Sandra had a lifelong love of reading and writing which she passed to her children and grandchildren. Currently she is teaching at Nueces Canyon Elementary continuing to spread the love of literature. Animals played an important part of life in her small town. Pets ranging from ducks, horses, dogs, cats, pigs, goats, and chickens hold precious memories for Sandra. Her tremendous love of animals and goal of spreading compassion and respect toward animals is why she chose to write the book "Stinky the Pig." The book fulfilled a lifelong dream. She intends to do a series of books about "Stinky". This book "Stinky the Pig Meets Sam" is the second book of the series.
