Author Interview: Sandra Grey, the Conclusion

Thank you for joining us for our third and final installment of our interview with LDS author Sandra Grey. If you missed parts one or two, click here to get caught up. Sandra, you just released your first novel, “Traitor.” How long did it take you to write this book? I wrote the first draft in six months. But of course the first draft is not the entire process. I began writing in the middle of September 2005 and “Traitor” was finally ready for publication (including several months of rewrites, edits, waiting for cover design, title decisions, and reviews, etc.) … Continue reading →

Author Interview: Sandra Grey, Part Two

We are joined again by LDS author Sandra Grey, author of “Traitor.” If you missed yesterday’s installment, click here. Sandra, in your exciting new LDS historical novel, you go into quite a lot of detail about code encryption. Was it difficult to find and then relay this information? Mr. Leo Marks, head of Communications at Special Operations Executive (SOE) in Britain, wrote an incredible memoir of his experiences during the war entitled “Between Silk and Cyanide” (HarperCollins 1998) – over six hundred pages long and more exciting to me than “Harry Potter.” I read every word even the appendages. Marie’s … Continue reading →

Author Interview – Sandra Grey

Last week, I had the fun of reviewing a new LDS historical fiction novel, “Traitor.” Today we are joined by the author of “Traitor,” Sandra Grey. Sandra, your first novel just hit the bookstores. What does it feel like, having this dream come to pass? It’s a feeling I have to describe with a little background information first: Near Thanksgiving Day in 2002 I stood on Red Square in Moscow, rough bricks under my feet, my hands, nose and ears numb, a strange language in my ears and my Arizona coat losing the battle against a murderous Russian cold front. … Continue reading →

Traitor – Sandra Grey

“Traitor” by new author Sandra Grey is one of the best LDS historical fiction novels I’ve ever read, and I have to tell you, I’m hard to impress. Because I myself write in the LDS historical fiction genre, I’m overly critical when it comes to analyzing the work of other authors. Sandra Grey is amazing. Marie Jacobson is a young woman of French ancestry who wants to do her part for the cause during World War II. Her fiancé, Felix, is working with the Resistance in Europe, and Marie is eager to see him again after a long separation. A … Continue reading →

Until the Dawn – Gale Sears

“Until the Dawn” is the sequel to the LDS historical fiction novel “Autumn Sky,” both written by Gale Sears. This book serves as the bridge between “Autumn Sky” and the third book in the trilogy, “Upon the Mountains,” which was a finalist for the Whitney Award this last year. As we begin “Until the Dawn,” we find that we are picking up right where “Autumn Sky” left off. In a desperate bid to save her family’s farm, Alaina Lund married Nephi Erickson in the hopes that her mother would give Nephi the land. But her mother, crazy with grief over … Continue reading →

Media Week in Review – March 10th – 15th

We know you’re busy and can’t join us every day, so here is a recap so you can keep up-to-date on all you might have missed. We started the week with an interview with author Thomas Bounds, who is writing a series of books for teenagers called “Choices.” It’s his hope that his stories will help teenagers understand the consequences of their actions and will feel encouraged to make the right choices. Then we had a fun interview with Dale Harcombe, who blogs for us here in Families.com in the Christian category. She lives in Australia and is a lot … Continue reading →
