About the author
Sandra Rector
14 books13 followersI specialize in female characters who, in spite of often unhappy, difficult personal circumstances, somehow manage to go after their own dreams.
Evaleen From Rags to Riches begins when Eva, a teenager, must find a way to support her mother and herself during the Great Depression, a time when there were few jobs, especially for someone so young and with no experience at anything. She dreams of riches and a great love.
Charlotte Parker Forty-Niner begins in 1850 when Charlotte, an upper class, proper Bostonian wife decides to leave her controlling husband and go to the gold fields of California to investigate her father's death. She does this at a time when women had few rights and a woman traveling alone was seen as highly suspect.
Running Away to Santa Fe is about Aurora, a woman in a marriage that hasn't so much died as withered away. When her sister dies, she realizes just how short a life can be and decides to "run away" to Santa Fe and follow her own dreams.
Chez Tulips - Recipes and Stories is a series of stories about dreams and dreamers in the restaurant business. As a kid, my parents owned a bar/cafe in a small town. Their big concern was that my brother and I not eat up the slim profits. If you ate even one candy bar, the profits from the whole box were lost. I have also worked as a food taster for a large corporation, and loved cooking and restaurants my whole life.
As for me, I have placed short stories with Pedestal Magazine, Black Petals, Southern Cross Review and others. In a long freelance writing career, I have sold articles, essays, poetry, and short stories to such places as East West, Cooking Light, and The Washington Post, and in collaboration with my husband, PMF Johnson, I have sold short stories to various anthologies. I hope you enjoy my novels and stories.
