About Me

My photo
Sandi Underwood was born a PK (Preacher’s Kid) in the beautiful East Tennessee Mountains, where family stories were passed down, generation-to-generation. Her love of writing was cultivated at an early age when family get-togethers and Church dinners-on-the-grounds provided an idyllic backdrop for memories that fuel her stories. Sandi’s early career included working with children in both the public and private sectors. Later in life, her path took a different direction, but her love of books was ever-present. Today, she shares a home with her rescue dog, Gus, and draws inspiration from her grandchildren as she continues to write for both children and adults.

Week 4:
The first chapter is done and I’m already bored with this whole project. Why isn’t my life as challenging and exciting as Diane Ladd’s in UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN? I could buy a villa and meet kooky new friends and fall in love with the wrong guy…(I’d be good at that last one!)


This must be that infamous muse…WRITER’S BLOCK. But my story is already written. Is there such a thing as REWRITER’S BLOCK? At least, I’m combining chapters two and three and the new chapter only needs a tweak or two. New Plan: cut the chapters told by William, rewrite a few strong chapters into Laurel’s voice and find a way to tie the story together without using so many “quilter’s knots.”

Loved, loved, loved my weekend read: TURTLE IN PARADISE. O inspiration, why did you abandon me so quickly?
