Readers will recognize Sandy Lender as the author of the 2007 fantasy novel “Choices Meant for Gods” from ArcheBooks Publishing, but the Central Florida resident has been writing since she was knee high to a grasshopper. At the early age of about six, Sandy entertained the folks in her great grandmother’s apartment building in Southern Illinois with ghost stories of squeaky spiders. Sandy won a first-place award with that imagination when she wrote a sequel to Harper Lee’s “To Kill a Mockingbird” during her school days in the St. Louis area before earning a degree in English from Truman State University in Kirksville, Missouri. That led to a career in journalism where she’s worked for a variety of publications the past 25 years.
Today she’s the editorial director of an international construction magazine and publisher of an avian publication. ArcheBooks has released the “Choices” trilogy in additional formats, and a number of her YA novels will get star treatment in 2018 and beyond. Sandy is also a sea turtle conservationist. She has companion parrots and turtles in her home who keep her hopping. It takes one ring on her cell phone to discover she’s remained obsessed with Duran Duran since 1984. She’s beaten cancer twice, but still battles the IRS. She welcomes readers to share in the conclusion of Chariss’s epic story in “Choices Meant for All.”

“We opened August 11, 2023 and started with the simple idea of bringing stories to life, from our shelves to your home, but wanted to have that magical feeling begin the moment you walked in.
From our founder to each of our booksellers, we put lots of love and careful thought into all that we do. Our goal is to support local in every way that we can. The majority of our gifts are locally created or sourced by artists, artisans, or other local businesses.
In June 2024, we moved into a Co-Creative Cottage with three other women owned businesses. Colorspell Creative Studio, Sable Snyder Music Studio, and Katy Hale Piano Studio.
Four separate businesses all building a safe space in our community through a love of all the arts.”
