When Sandra started working at the local college, she learned how to run the computer through her helpful staff members and would venture out writing her first book of poetry, Of Butterflies and Men. To date, she has now written and published twelve books of poetry: Perspective, Reflections, The Things That Matter, Words for the Soul, Words for the Wise, Harbingers of the Apocalypse, From Where I Stand, Poems to Ponder, Of Butterflies and Men, Contemplation, Viewpoint, and The Lighthouse, her most recent book. Most of the poems are written in a regular rhyme and rhythm style, rather than in free verse. Sandra’s career also includes the writing of two songs: “Sing the Songs of Zion” and “No Friend Like Jesus”, and writing new words for the music, “Ave Maria”, which she titled “Gracious Redeemer,” and “The Holy City”, which she titled “At Calvary”. She has also painted over one hundred pictures in the medium of acrylic paint.
Sandra’s topics for her writing are reflections of God and the Bible, themes from religious books, nature, human relationships, Christmas, and romance. Woven throughout her books is a focus on right living, gleaned from religious perspective. Her purpose is to use her talent of writing to honor God and Biblical concepts in a practical and relevant way in today’s society. She is inspired by the concept in 1 Corinthians 4:7 which says, “What do you have that you have not received?” Because of this, she hopes to use her writing to be a blessing to others as they travel the road of life.
