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.

December 11, 2017: First book signing. Check. Second book signing. Check. After a long day Saturday of not one, but two, book signings, I can honestly say I’m hooked.  Going from inside to a toasty 72 degrees with a blazing fireplace and beautiful decorations to a high of 35 degrees and continually dropping temperatures, a blustery wind and toes that I could no longer feel, I totally had a ball! So many friends came out and to them, I’m truly blessed. I even had one dear old family friend who drove two hours just to get here! I loved talking to people about my book, and there were so many people who truly were interested in the process. And of course, I met a young writer who had self-published her first book who was interested in continuing down the writer’s path by finding her own publisher. It was very enjoyable encouraging her and offering tips…tips my very own critique partner bestowed on me. I guess that’s the most enjoyable part--helping someone else along the way. We writers have to stick together! And write, of course.
