  • "Bride of a Distant Isle is an absorbing, transportive Victorian romance infused with intriguing details and delicious imagery. Sandra is a master of the historical novel. Engaging to the last page." ~ Susan Meissner, Author of Secrets of a Charmed Life

  • "Lovers of wind-swept moors and Bronte-esque intrigue will devour Byrd’s latest romance, Bride of a Distant Isle! Annabel Ashton, like Jane Eyre before her, doesn’t accept her circumstances or let mysteries rest unsolved, but instead invites you along as she proactively uncovers truths and searches out her own happily ever after." ~Katherine Reay, author of The Bronte Plot

  • "A marvelous mingling of mystery and deeply moving family and romantic love, Mist of Midnight kept me guessing until the very end. A house on a cliff, a Victorian-Gothic atmosphere, a cast of suspicious characters including a dark, brooding hero and a strong heroine: shades (or mists) of Jane Eyre and Rebecca! I look forward to the next novel in this compelling, new series." Karen Harper NYTimes bestselling author of Mistress of Mourning

    Home and Garden Devotionals
  • "Mist of Midnight is wonderfully atmospheric, with all the right elements for a true Gothic novel, from sounds that go bump in the night to characters who are not at all what they seem. The spiritual underpinning is solid, comforting, even as we're trapped in the author's finely spun web of mystery, romance, and a sense of foreboding that doesn't lift until the final page. Charlotte Brontë? Victoria Holt? Meet Sandra Byrd, the modern mistress of Gothic romance!” Liz Curtis Higgs, New York Times best-selling author of Mine Is the Night

  • "Let Them Eat Cake is a culinary delight ... with a wonderful surprise ending." Rachel Hauck, author of The Wedding Dress

  • 'Rich in historical detail, full of intrigue, and starring a memorable heroine—Juliana St. John—who grows in both character and faith, Sandra Byrd's The Secret Keeper kept me completely engrossed in the tumultuous court of Henry VIII. I felt a part of the times, thanks to the author's skillful storytelling, vivid descriptions, and inspiring characters. Readers are in for a special treat with this remarkable novel.' Francine Rivers, NY Times Bestselling Author
