Sandy Lo

Sandy Lo was born and raised in Staten Island, New York. At the age of eighteen, she founded the entertainment publication, StarShine Magazine. While focusing on journalism and interviewing celebrities like Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga and the Backstreet Boys, Sandy wrote stories; something that was always one of her favorite pastimes.
Sandy has used her knowledge, love and experience in the music industry as inspiration for her commonly musically themed books. Her debut novel, “Lost In You” was published in 2009 and inspired by her love of ’90s pop music. The book became a favorite read of “Backstreet Mom” author, Denise Solis and 98 Degrees star, Jeff Timmons. “Lost In You” continues to climb up the Amazon Kindle Sales list, attracting a reader base that loves many of the boy bands Sandy has interviewed in StarShine Magazine. Sandy followed her first book with “The Dream Catchers Series”, which includes 3 installments so far: “Dream Catchers” (2010), “Breaking The Moon” (2011) and “Expressions” (2011). The series was received so well by Sandy’s growing fan base that she plans to add another book in 2013. “Dream Catchers” launched the fictitious band, Tortured, which was influenced by the music of 30 Seconds To Mars. Sandy is starting a trend of combining music and literature by creating and/or featuring songs with some of her novels. “Haley’s Letter”, the song from “Dream Catchers” is available on iTunes. Sandy Lo wrote the song with longtime friend and MTV star James Manzello. In 2010, The Authors Show selected Sandy Lo in its publication “50 Writers You Should Be Reading”. In 2012, “Dream Catchers” and “Breaking The Moon” reached the Top 100 Best Selling Coming of Age novels in Amazon’s Kindle Store and continues to move up the list. In order to write the novel “The Watch Dog”, Sandy relocated to Nashville, TN in 2011. “The Watch Dog” is a bit of a departure from her past romantically driven books, though a love story remains a key factor in the storyline. Music also plays a part in the plot of “The Watch Dog”, this time exploring country music. Singer/Songwriter Stacia Watkins’ debut single “When God Whispers” was released along with the book. With “The Watch Dog”, Sandy hopes to send a message of love, forgiveness and acceptance. Sandy moved back to New York in 2013 to fittingly continue writing "Take Me Home" and to pursue more writing/journalism opportunities. |
