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 13:


The sunshine is pouring in my window and my happy feet are tapping as I type this. I’ve printed a hard copy of MOUNTAIN LAUREL and I’m slowly reading through it one last time. So far, I’ve deleted some fluff, but no major overhauls. I’m thinking the story is in pretty good shape. Am I a good judge at this point or is it wishful thinking? We’ll see what the Editor thinks. My plan is to whisk this latest version off by end of the week. Fingers crossed!

Exciting, exciting, exciting. I want to hear what the editor has to say, too. Keep us posted.

Every publisher has a focus. You've caught the editor's eye so you are definitely doing something right. Fingers crossed for you.
