Sandy Henry's newest book, Carnegie, is now available from Arcadia Publishing. This new installment in the Images of America series is an historical compilation of archival photographs and captions that tell the story of Carnegie, Pennsylvania, Sandy's hometown. Some pretty famous folk have ties to Carnegie, a small suburb of Pittsburgh, including Hall of Fame shortstop Honus Wagner, Chicago Bears Coach Mike Ditka and philanthropist/benefactor Andrew Carnegie. There is even a local connection to Sandy's favorite fictional heroine, Nancy Drew!
Sandy's first rhyming picture book, A Child’s Bedtime Companion, was released by Ambassador Books in November 2005. The author hosts Story Times, School Assemblies and author chats for her new book, as well as for several other published works for both children and adults. She most enjoys her Story Times, however, which often feature cookies and milk and coloring pages for the kids!
Sandy has been published in a variety of genres, and she is committed to sharing with others her insider's perspective regarding writing and publishing. She frequently speaks to readers, writers and civic organizations about “How to Write What You Love and Get Published.”
In addition, she was featured in Changing Course, the collection of empowering works by bestselling author Yitta Halberstam (Small Miracles). The anthology includes essays and commentary by such notables as Oprah Winfrey, Joyce Maynard and Susan Sarandon, among many others.
A marketing major in college, Sandy later received her paralegal certification from Penn State University. Her seven-year stint in the areas of Civil and Criminal Litigation has served her well in crafting romantic thrillers.
She lives with her husband and two Labrador Retrievers in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the setting for much of her fiction. Professional Affiliations: Sisters in Crime, PennWriters, Women in Film. Co-founder Waterfront Writers Workshop, Pittsburgh, PA.
