Sandra Landry

"Words have always fascinated me, even before I could read them," says Sandra Landry. She recalls spending countless hours as a child copying indecipherable loops and lines, marveling at their beauty and the wondrous secrets they held. Secrets, once uncovered, revealed a whole new world to her--a world of pure magic.

That fascination with words led her to an obsession with reading and a deep interest in foreign languages. It took her from her native country of Brazil to study in England and finally to reside in the USA where she has adopted New Orleans as her home, English as her language, and writing as her career.

Sandra Landry's debut novel, A PERFECT LOVE, Jove 08/00, met with rave reviews and was the winner of the Golden Quill for Best First Book, a finalist of the Holt Medallion and Booksellers' Best. Her second novel, THE WISHING CHALICE, Berkley Sensation, will be a February 2004 release. Both novels are time travels set in medieval England.
