Sandra Lynne Reed

Sandra Lynne Reed loves history--whether it is her family history, or events in more distant times and places. In particular, she loves the medieval period around the Mediterranean, a world she was drawn into by Pope Celestine V. Sandra has visited family history sites in Italy, England, and across the U.S.A. as well as historical locations in Italy.

Sandra grew up in Alaska, and on her second trip out of the state, at age 13, she and her family drove 22,000 miles around North America. Her next adventure took her to New Zealand on the far side of the world, for an eleven-month student exchange, where she watched the moon landing on TV. She still loves travel, especially a road trip.

With a degree in English from the University of Alaska, Anchorage, Sandra has worked as a travel agent, office manager, freelance writer, and newspaper reporter. She and her husband now live near Olympic National Park in Washington state. She is a member of the Historical Novel Society, and often reads historical novels far too late at night.
