Sandra Ramos O'Briant

Sandra Ramos O'Briant is the daughter of a Mexican Catholic and a Texas Baptist. As such, she was introduced to both the self-flagellating Penitentes of New Mexico and the tent show holy-rollers of East Texas. In addition, her hometown of Santa Fe, the city of Holy Faith, is host to state politics, a tourist-based economy, artists and their hangers-on, and a thriving homosexual community. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband, two sons, a dog, a cat, and two quarrelsome parakeets.

The Sandoval Sisters' Secret of Old Blood is her first novel, but her work has appeared in print and online journals. A complete list and links can be found here:
