Sandra Arrants, a graduate of the College of Charleston where she majored in history, decided after writing endless factural thesis and papers, she liked writing fiction a whole lot better. She has written her first murder mystery, Melody for Murder as well as a short story, Dead Money. She is at work on her second mystery novel. Her books are geared towards women who want a little break from life's annoyances-whiny kids, leaky faucets, overdrawn bank balances... ladies who need to sit back and sink themselves in a lighthearted whodunit filled with interesting, amusing characters and twisting plots.
