Sandra is the award-winning young adult fantasy author of the Colliding Line Series: MORTAL SIGHT and REALMS OF LIGHT.  She was born in Queens, New York to Cuban-Colombian parents, but grew up in Texas with a love for classical art and literature, specifically Renaissance artists and Late Romantic poets. She attended the University of Texas at Austin and earned a degree in English, and then went on to earn an MA in her seventeenth century crush, John Milton.

 

 

 

 

 

Past experience also includes a background in acting, directing, as well as script writing for stage and short film.

I am a first-generation American with a deep love for the artist community and the arts. I’m an active member of Art House Dallas. While writing is my primary love, I enjoy venturing out and trying new art forms. Currently, I’m learning to play the cello I’ve named Lysander, and one of my dreams is to learn how to play the theme to Jurassic Park.

 

When I’m not dreaming up fantastical worlds or challenging my characters to overcome impossible obstacles, I love seeking new adventures to fuel my imagination. Oh, and I occasionally swing a tennis racquet without injuring myself or others. I currently reside in Dallas with my husband, four kids, and two pups.
