Sandy Semerad

Sandy Semerad's latest thriller Carrie Sue Diary has been an award-winning, Amazon #1 Best Seller. The recently released Justice's Journal is the prequel to Carrie Sue's Diary. Sandy has been making up stories in her head ever she can remember. She was born in Geneva, Alabama, but earned a journalism degree from Georgia State University in Atlanta, where Carrie Sue's Diary and A Message in the Roses are set. Like protagonist Carrie Sue, Sandy has worked as a newspaper reporter and columnist. She has also been a model, makeup artist, broadcaster, news director and editor. Her other novels include Sex, Love and Murder, set in New Orleans during Mardi Gras and Hurricane House, set in a Florida Fishing Village. They both feature a magical crystal necklace. Her third book, A Message in the Roses, is a love story, loosely based on a murder trial she covered as a newspaper reporter in Atlanta. And her latest novel is a legal thriller Justice's Journal. Sandy now lives in Florida with husband Larry and Shih Poo Elvis. She has two daughters, Rene and Andrea and a granddaughter Cody. When not writing the stories in her head, she's writing songs with Larry, an accomplished pianist and keyboard player.
