I'm excited to announce my next novel. Five Tries to Get It Right will be published on May 16! This is a novel about friendship and about those times in your life when you need to start over but aren't sure you can. Finally, it is a travelogue. Now in their fifties, Lydia and Kate revisit the five countries they toured together in their twenties. They are on a voyage to retrace their youth and reawaken their passion for life, but can they find the future in the past? If this sounds interesting, I've got a proposition for you. |

"My passion stems from wonderful experiences in community theater, where I delighted in the unique costumes while acting and singing in more than 75 shows. I began to gather my own collection, first to costume myself, and then for the pure joy of it." Sandra L. Young |

Some of the fashions in her novels are from her collection, such as the emerald brocade ‘50s cocktail dress from Divine Vintage and the 1960s floral print Tess’s assistant, Marcy, rocks with artsy-chic style in the sequel, Divinely Dramatic. For photos, visit her website. |

The three Divine Vintage novels mix genres, combining fashion with romance, women’s fiction, and historical mystery, all with a ghostly sizzle. The final novel, The Ghostly Diva, comes out May 1, 2024. |
