Sandra D. Bricker's "Love Finds You in Carmel by the Sea"

We're happy to have Sandra D. Bricker with us today talking about her book, Carmel by the Sea. To learn more about Sandra and her book, read on!

1) How did this story come to you?All I needed was to spend a little time in Carmel to go gaga for the place. It’s so artsy and quaint, and it struck me that it has the vibe of an old Hollywood movie.

2) Tell us about the journey to getting this book published.
I actually sold a different story to Summerside, one that was set in Montana. However, the owner of Summerside went on a golf vacation to Carmel, and he fell in love with the place, then asked me if I’d consider changing the location of my story.

3) Tell me three things about yourself that would surprise your readers.1. The Bachelor is my secret pleasure. Don’t ask me why!
2. I grew up wanting to be Ann Marie, Marlo Thomas’ character in That Girl.
3. I am a fanatic fan of the old Dick Van Dyke Show. Rob Petrie was, and still is, my ideal man.

4) What are you working on now and what's next for you?I co-authored with Kristin Billerbeck, Diann Hunt, Debby Mayne and Trish Perry. It’s called Delight Yourself in the Lord…Even on Bad Hair Days. It’s due out in the spring, and a portion of the proceeds will go to the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund. I’m working on books two and three in the OH! series for Abingdon Press.

5) Parting comments?Thank you so much for inviting me to join you for a visit. You’ve been so supportive of me and my books, and I’m really grateful.
