“Sandra Wagner-Wright is an excellent storyteller with a natural flair for historical accuracy & powerful character development.”
Seattle Book Review

Sandra Wagner-Wright holds the doctoral degree in history and taught women’s, global, and American history at the University of Hawai`i before transitioning into writing historical fiction. A stickler for historical accuracy, Sandra immerses herself in original documents and miniscule details before turning her attention to the story she wants to tell. Sandra particularly likes writing about strong women and the challenges they face at key moments in history.
