Welcome to my website!
I’m an independent author of contemporary feel-good romance from around the world: novels, novellas and short stories.
I indie published my debut novel, From Here to Nashville, in February 2015. I then published two follow-up novellas, Over You (Sam’s Story) and Finding You (Jenna’s Story) in 2018 making the From Here to You series complete. I have also published a boxed set of the From Here to You trilogy of books.
My second novel, The Vineyard in Alsace, was published in March 2017, the first in the Domaine des Montagnes series. The second book in this series, Starting Over at the Vineyard in Alsace was published in July 2020. The final book in this trilogy, A Leap of Faith at the Vineyard in Alsace, was published in August 2021.
My third novel, The Bistro by Watersmeet Bridge, was published in August 2019, closely followed by Bittersweet: 12 Short Stories for Modern Life in September 2019.
You can find all my books here.

Hi Julie,
I’ve just had two of my short stories published in an anthology and wondered if you would review the book on your blog?
It’s called ‘The Milk of Female Kindness’ and includes short fiction, poetry, art, memoir and medical writing on the theme of honest motherhood. Some of the writers have recently given birth, others are grandmothers. Some, like me, are childless; my writing is inspired by memories of my own mother. Some of the pieces will make you smile, others are heartbreaking.
I’d be very happy to send you an e-book or hard copy, or some sample stories.
Best wishes and thanks,
Sandra @ http://www.sandradanby.com/
