More About the Author

Have you ever read a book and wished you could write one too? Have you ever followed someone else's characters and thought you would have them behave differently? Well, that's how I was. I read and read and read, especially historical fiction, but I secretly yearned to write a title of my own. Strangely, it took my three-year-old daughter's urgent admission to hospital with meningitis to finally get me going. She was so ill and I was so distracted, that after a while my father gave me a little portable typewriter 'to help take my mind off things'. By the time my daughter Sarah came out of hospital, well on the road to recovery, my first book was also well on the road.

I wrote and wrote and wrote, standing in the kitchen on one leg like a stork, with the typewriter on a work surface while my daughter played around my feet. My first ten books were medieval historicals set in England, and since then I have mostly written in the English Regency period - for which living in Britain is a definite advantage! I love romantic stories, and if I can weave history, traditions, myths, legends and sometimes Gothic elements into them, I'm happiest of all. These were the sorts of story I couldn't get enough of before I became a writer, and I'm glad to say my readers like them too.

Sandra Heath isn't my only pen name, for you'll also find me as Sandra Wilson, Jeannie Machin and Sarah Stanley. Some of these titles you'll recognize from before, but some you won't. Most of my medievals were written as Sandra Wilson, and as Sarah Stanley I've produced two new sensuous Regencies, STAR-CROSSED SUMMER and MIDWINTER MARRIAGE, which follow the same characters and should be read in the order of the titles. I hope to follow them with two more in the same series, but at the moment I have so much else to write that it may be a little while.

Sooo, over sixty-five books after my first ever title, I'm still wearing out keyboards, and loving every minute of it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't Buy if you have all the Signet Christmas Regency anthologies, October 18, 2008
By 
C. Turner (Houston, TX USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: A Homespun Regency Christmas (Paperback)
I was very disappointed when I discovered that all the stories in this book were published in previous Signet Regency Christmas anthologies. I have them all from the very beginning and re-read most of them every Christmas. I was excited when I saw this advertised. I checked the copyright date -- 2008. Well this particular combination may be 2008, but none of the individual stories are. If you have the whole collection skip this one because you already have them. If you didn't buy them all, or you didn't keep them and would like to re-read them then you might feel it would be worth it as they are good stories.

3.0 out of 5 stars RIPPED OFF!, October 9, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: A Homespun Regency Christmas (Paperback)
Okay, it's my fault for not reading the fine print. I read everything Carla Kelly writes and was very happy to see a Christmas anthology coming out. When I eagerly opened it, of course I realized it was a previously published novella from The Christmas Present. For now, I'm giving it a three star just because I feel ripped off. I still love Carla just as much, of course, but darn!

1.0 out of 5 stars Yet another rip off, October 21, 2008
This review is from: A Homespun Regency Christmas (Paperback)
I LOVE Christmas anthologies and I also was excited to see that there might be a new one. I think they no longer bring those anthologies out anymore.
Anyway - a rip off. Old stories. I have them all and I read them every year. Know them all.
Dont cheat people why dont you just contract for new ones?
