Sandra Hunt has had a long career in social services, working both with young adults and the elderly. She served for ten years as a Methodist local preacher, composing sermons, conducting services and leading prayer and study groups. She has children and grandchildren, and what she writes is based upon her observation of children and her delight in entering into their world and sharing their joy. Sandra loves dogs, and likes to spend as much time as possible with her twenty month old black Labrador grand-dog Charlie.
