"Reviewed By Shannon Winings for Readers' Favorite
Florida swamps are home to horrific nightmares where someone is chasing you and you just can't get away from the dark figure following you. Yet, these types of nightmares become real when young Wyatt disappears from the Green Swamp on his way home. Jeremy Corringer has already lost his wife and cannot possibly bear to lose his beautiful child. His friend, Adrian Webster, feels for him and wants to help. He is no stranger to tragedy as he lost his own brother ten years ago and still wrestles with the aftershock to this day. Adrian doesn't want his friend to suffer and the only way to do that is to find Wyatt before time runs out. Soon, Adrian is plagued with "visions" that may just be the key to finding the young boy and restoring his own life.

The Takings by Sandie Will immediately pulled me into the story. It was mysterious, dark, and suspenseful to the very end. The author was also extremely talented at writing descriptive, vivid imagery that put me in the book with the characters. At times, I felt trapped in the swamp and Adrian's visions as well. In addition, I also felt some sort of sympathy and empathy for the villain. I was so conflicted as you clearly should root for good over evil but sometimes you can't help feeling a bit too much when you come across some great writing. The Takings by Sandie Will is definitely a great mystery to read on your vacation this year."

Check out the cover of my new psychological thriller titled, The Takings, coming October 30, 2019! It will be available on Amazon including Kindle Unlimited. Very excited!!

At age fifteen, Adrian Webster lost his younger brother in a tragic accident. He tried to mourn. He tried to move on. But all he could do was bury the pain.

Ten years later, his best friend’s son, Wyatt, vanishes while riding his bike through Green Swamp in Central Florida. Adrian's friend has already lost his wife, and he doesn’t want him to suffer the pain of losing a child, making Adrian obsess over finding Wyatt. So obsessed that he’s plagued by visions. Ones that creep into the corners of his eyes. Ones that reveal the truth. And ones that force Adrian to choose between his friendship and unleashing the memories of the past before Wyatt is gone forever and Adrian loses the one thing he loves most in life—his new family.

Thank you, everyone, for your continued support with The Caging at Deadwater Manor. As you know, though Deadwater Manor is fictional, the book is set in the vicinity of my home. So, I thought I'd share a few photos of the area! Here's a sneak peek of one of the scenes in the book!

Hi everyone!

Wow! March 31st is approaching fast! I'm getting everything ready for the book release and preparing the final finishes to the book. Could you help me spread the word? If so, here are some ideas:

• If you haven't already, please sign up for the virtual promotions team to distribute the promotional materials to social media and emails. Just click on the button below. Everything will be prepared so all you need to do is copy and paste the posts.
• Please share/retweet any posts you see about the book on Facebook, Twitter, etc. The reach from social media with this is amazing!
• Listen to and share the information on my radio show which will be broadcasting on March 31 at noon - see the ArtistsFirst Radio Network. Soon they will be adding me to their upcoming guest list. I also prepared a commercial, so you may hear me during the day. They have some really interesting shows too.
• Participate/comment on any blog hops/blog tours. I'll be announcing these soon on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and via email.
• Purchase the ebook on March 31 or April 1 - this will help my Amazon ranking soar! The printed version will be available the following week, since that's a different ranking system. The book will also be available on other major outlets such as Barnes & Noble.

Hope you're doing well. As always, thanks for all of your support. I appreciate it! :)

Have a good weekend!  --Sandie

Happy New Year, everyone! I hope this year brings much happiness and success to you. I'm looking forward to an exciting 2017 with launching two books and finishing up my third novel. This will come with lots of outreach and promotions which I'm excited to learn and share with you.

The Caging at Deadwater Manor has now been signed over to me from my former publisher (I decided to leave them), so now I own both the book and the book cover. Waiting for this delayed the December release, but it will give me time to prepare for the upcoming release in March 2017. I'm currently looking at book promotion options, blog hops and other ways to get the word out. As soon as I have an exact date of release, I'll let you know.

My second book is a young adult historical time travel which I describe on my home page. This was actually the first book I wrote and I've held back publishing it due to the Irish Gaelic that I included, requiring additional editing time. This will be a series titled, "Time Lands," and is about a teenage girl from today who meets a guy from 1849 Ireland who's living through the Great Irish Hunger. I plan on having the main characters, Carly Matthews and Liam Healy, explore a different time period and history for each novel, all the while trying to evade the pursuit of Liam's old landlord who wants nothing more than to bring her "slave" back to her time. The historical settings for each novel in the upcoming series will be unusual ones that you don't hear about too much in school. I can't wait to bring this series to you and for you to join Carly and Liam on their adventures back through time. This book will be released in late 2017.

In the meantime, I'm currently writing a third novel titled, "Vision's Edge." This is another psychological thriller about a young man who is tortured by his past. I can't reveal much about the book for now, but I can say that he has a peculiar way of handling his pain.

Again, I hope you have a wonderful year ahead. Thank you for following my blog and watching for my upcoming book release!

Take care,
Sandie

Hi everyone!

Still waiting for word on the release date for my new novel.  In the meantime, I've been creating some promotional images.  Here's my latest:​

I created this image on Canva and it was very easy. The window picture was free at the website, and then I just added a few more items. Best of all, the website saves the image for future use or edits. Let me know if you have any suggestions in the comments below. 

I'm also looking for beta readers so I will have reviews for the book release. If you're interested in reading the book before it's released and leaving a review, let me know at sandie@sandiewill.com. I'll be setting up an easy form on my webpage that will provide review questions to make the process simpler. I need lots of reviews, so feel free to pass my email to anyone you think might be interested. More to come!

Hope you're all having a fantastic weekend and thanks for your support!

Sandie
