Sandra Lynn Brown, (born March 12, 1948) is an American bestselling author of romantic novels and thriller suspense novels. Brown has also published works under the pen names of Rachel Ryan, Laura Jordan, and Erin St. Claire.

Sandra Brown was born in Waco, Texas, and raised in Fort Worth. She majored in English at Texas Christian University (TCU) in Fort Worth, but left college in 1968 to marry her husband, Michael Brown, a former television news anchor and award-winning documentarian, for Dust to Dust. They have one son, Ryan.

After her marriage, Brown worked for KLTV in Tyler as a weathercaster, then returned to the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex area where she became a reporter for WFAA-TV's version of PM Magazine.

Brown started her writing career in 1981 after her husband dared her to. Since then, she has published nearly 70 novels and had more than 50 New York Times bestsellers. In 2008, she was presented with an honorary doctorate of humane letters from her alma mater, TCU.

Her novel French Silk was made into a movie, released in 1994, for television. Susan Lucci, Shari Belafonte, and Lee Horsley starred. In 2016, her novel White Hot was turned into a Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Original movie titled, Sandra Brown's White Hot.

In 2007, she contributed to Court TV's series Murder By The Book, about the murder of Betty Gore in Wylie, Texas, on June 13, 1980.

Her book Seeing Red was published on August 17, 2017.

In August 2018, her new book Tailspin published by Grand Central landed at #7 on The New York Times bestsellers list.

This is quite a short book and an easy read too. If you like a good story with a predictable but nice ending, then this is for you.

Okay, this is one of those stories that has everyone ended up happy in the end (well, mostly everyone..). Even the antagonist ended up with what she wanted in the end, where if it were up to me, I would have loved to slap her around. Of course, I guess that not in the nature of the book considering the time it was written in.

I must say the love scenes are something special, it was written so eloquently and poetic that I almost didn't realize that they were making love. A huge plus for me~

As I said, the story is not that special but still a good read if nothing else.

This was an uplifting story, which has been written many times over, about a woman who is able to escape a powerful, emotionally abusive husband and find true love, but it is also a crime novel with a few big surprises along the way. This is one of SB's older books- some dated material- but still a good read.

"Out of Nowhere" by Sandra Brown is a gripping tale of tragedy and resilience set against the backdrop of a Texas county fair. Children's book author Elle Portman and corporate consultant Calder Hudson are brought together by a horrifying shooting, sparking a quest for justice and an unexpected connection. Brown's masterful storytelling keeps readers on the edge of their seats with its fast-paced plot, well-developed characters, and thought-provoking themes of redemption and the human spirit.
