Sandra Fleming
www.sandrafleminginspires.com Sandra Fleming is a native Washingtonian currently residing in Fort Washington, Maryland. She never knew a book was waiting to be birthed until she was inspired by her four-year-old granddaughter, Kaya Rylee, in 2011. Since that time, she wrote and self-published her first book in February 2013, “An Unlikely Trio: a Ladybug, a Dolphin & a Fairy.” A second children’s book, entitled “Sweet Grandma,” and in the near future, a motivational book for adults, are in the works. Thanks to Kaya, Sandra is proud to add the descriptive “author” to her accomplishments.
Sandra continues to be inspired by her granddaughter, who is the love of her life, to help our youth find their purpose and destiny in life. As she embarks on her journey to inspire, encourage and motivate youths, she has spoken and shared her story of being an author at pre-schools, churches, non-profits, and other local venues.
Her favorite quote: It’s all about the Children!
Her favorite scripture for children: Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity. 1 Timothy 4:12 NIV

She’s an alumnus of Nyack college, earning a B.S. in Organizational Management. She works as an investigator for a government contractor and finds time to write every day.

Her debut novel, WHERE DID WE GO WRONG?, was published in April of 2012 by The Literary Publishing Group.
At age ten, she was introduced to the world of romantic fiction by an older cousin who worked at a local library, and it was "love at first read"-- Monica simply couldn't get enough. Reading for fun opened her mind to a whole new world. Instead of just reading novels, she studied them, determined to join the ranks of the many published authors whose work she enjoyed. A few of Monica's favorite authors include Jackie Collins, Terry McMillan, Mary Higgins Clark and Carl Weber. She enjoys reading all genres, but her favorite is contemporary and romantic fiction with strong, independent women as lead characters.
Monica's writing describes the drama in relationships among families, lovers, friends, and colleagues. She likes to take her readers on a roller-coaster ride of emotions that will make them laugh, cry, gasp, think, and question people and the decisions they make.
