Sandy Loyd

I'm a Western girl through and through. Born and raised in Salt Lake City, I've worked and lived in some fabulous places in the US, including South Florida. I now reside in Kentucky and write full time. As much as I love my current hometown, I miss the mountains and have to go back to my roots to get my mountain and skiing fix at least once a year, otherwise my muse suffers.

As a sales rep for a major manufacturer, I've  traveled extensively throughout the US,  and have a million stored memories to draw from for my stories. I spent my single years in San Francisco and consider that city one of America's treasures, comparable to no other city in the world. My California Series, starting out with Winter Interlude, are all set in the Bay Area.

I'm currently an empty nester and have published eleven full length novels besides The Christmas Miracle(my latest short story)—four contemporary romances, four romantic mystery/suspense/thrillers, and a series that starts out with a time travel and follows up with two historical romances in the past. I strive to come up with fun characters—people you would love to call friends. And we all know friends have their baggage and when we discover what makes them tick, we come to love them even more. I don't skimp on the romance. And because I love puzzles, I don't skimp on intrigue, either. Yet whether romantic suspense, contemporary romance, or historical romance, I always tries to weave a warm love story into my work, while providing enough twists and turns to entertain any reader.
