Sandra Preisler was born and raised in Casper, Wyoming, and it was there that she met her future husband, Ken, while playing baseball. She still claims it was her impressive second base skills that first caught his eye. After having spent decades raising kids and then caring for elderly parents, the time is finally right to pursue her early love of writing. She has been an avid reader of historical mysteries for years and is very excited to have written her debut novel, The Ties That Divide, with her oldest daughter Taylor Preisler.
