February 2011


Sandi Krawchenko Altner enjoyed an award-winning career as journalist in Canadian television and radio before following her passion for history and writing fiction. Born and raised in Winnipeg, Sandi is very proud of her roots; her family descended from the first group of Ukrainian pioneers who settled in Manitoba in 1896.

In approaching historical fiction writing, Sandi is deeply committed to building stories on a rock solid foundation of facts and is particularly happy on days that involve wearing white gloves and diving into the old files of an archive collection.

Sandi and her husband have two daughters and make their home in Florida, with two happy dogs who are just a wee bit spoiled. Connect with Sandi at www.SandiAltner.com.
