There are great authors is every so-called genre.Warren Bullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07789270258599769915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-80686215138477492192011-11-09T14:25:13.395-05:002011-11-09T14:25:13.395-05:00Sandra, you're very versatile-- from Anne Bole...Sandra, you're very versatile-- from Anne Boleyn to brioche. That your books are described as heartfelt is quite a plus, and that you brought tears to Elaine's eyes makes me want to read them. When you can touch readers emotionally, you're doing something right. Very nice interview!Ellis Vidlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11918353154644739285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-89956311745864575672011-11-09T12:13:14.730-05:002011-11-09T12:13:14.730-05:00Thank you all for inviting me to your blog. There...Thank you all for inviting me to your blog. There's definitely quite a bit of killing going on in my Tudor books! <br /><br />Warren, I have found some people to be puzzled by the fact that I write across genres. But maybe labeling is getting to be a thing of the past, and we can just read what we like based on content? We can hope!Sandra Byrdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02507129006313762319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-85476020587312049052011-11-09T11:58:06.928-05:002011-11-09T11:58:06.928-05:00Thanks for the interview.

Henry VIII, his treatment of women, and the wars about religion raging during his reign and after bring up issues that we haven't completely resolved.Pauline Alldredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00847008019331163905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-66966684166543697462011-11-09T04:07:36.114-05:002011-11-09T04:07:36.114-05:00I enjoyed reading Sandra's books, and I even r...I enjoyed reading Sandra's books, and I even read one of the YA books, which was heart felt--a characteristic of all Sandra's books. While there are some romantic parts in her books, I can't say I'd categorize her in that genre. Funny though, she uses a technique that romance writers use--deep POV. She gets inside her characters and reveals their fears, wishes and prayers--we know her main character's intentions. Outside of the romance genre, that deep POV and characterization is rare. Treat yourself and read some of Sandra's books.E. B.
