Sandra Bolton's novels are based on her real-life experiences with diverse settings and cultures as well as a desire to right racial inequality. Her first novel, A Cipher in the Sand , was inspired by her work in the Peace Corps in Honduras, while Key Witness and her follow-up novel, Abducted Innocence , were inspired by her years spent teaching Navajo children. With twenty-five years of teaching experience and a master's degree in guidance counseling, Sandra is no stranger to compelling stories, but her love of writing truly began with a passion for reading. Then, her skills were honed under the tutelage of southwestern mystery writer Steven F. Havill. Originally from California, Sandra has traveled the globe with her military husband and three kids. She now resides in Raton, New Mexico, where she divides her time between writing, hiking, photography, and gourmet cooking. Sandra is currently at work on a third novel in the Emily Etcitty Mysteries, with the help of her co-authors--her cat, Fidel, and her dog, Sam. See less
