| Reviews for The Winds of Fall “The Winds of Fall, a flight into fantasy full of science fiction, mystery, suspense, and romance both sweet and explosive, takes the reader away from the usual to view the universe in Technicolor and teeming with activity. This novel entices the imagination to stretch and soar to amazing heights—making one remember those “play-like” games of childhood when all things seemed possible. Sandy Wickersham-McWhorter uses art and science to create an exciting environment for characters that come alive in places as real as Tulsa, Oklahoma, and as fanciful as a planet that circles a distant star. She creates secondary characters that reveal and help unravel the mysteries of the phenomenal world of Skye and Joe. Isala, Vicky, Alex, Ericka, and Mr. Davis all weave themselves through the story to give it strength and believability. Some of the scientific elements in the story are a bit overwhelming but the excitement of events engages so many of the reader’s senses that one is propelled along with a feeling of urgency. The Winds of Fall pushes the boundaries and excites the imagination of “what if” while weaving a unique love story that thrills the heart." 4.5 of 5 Books from Camelia Barbara Vey’s Publisher's Weekly "Beyond Her Book WW Ladies Book Club" Blurbs 5-7-2009-reviewed The Winds of Fall--Skye Worthington is a highly intelligent scientist, finishing her doctorates in astrophysics and aeronautical engineering. But these degrees were only for her to fall back on in case she didn’t succeed in her other passion, artistry. It was at a competitive artwork show that she literally fell into the arms of Joseph Allen, leaving them gasping from the instant sizzle that pulsed between them. After this first meeting with Joe, the constant bombardment of otherworldly dreams started and the strange feelings of wanting to fly where the wind takes her. And if that didn’t frighten her enough it was the creepy feeling of someone touching her as she stepped outside, turning to find no one there, that tipped her closer to insanity. "I was right there with Skye on the edge of her sanity, wanting her to desperately solve who she really was and how it would affect her future, and especially what part the mysterious, handsome Joe would play in her life. This Men In Black-like Sci-Fi story had me transfixed right at the beginning and I just couldn’t put it down." Reviewer Marge |

| My Published Books Books are the light of the world. |
| The Winds of Fall is a more spicy contemporary science-fiction romance with paranormal touches. Based on dreams I had in elementary school, it's about two people trying to fit into life on Earth, who meet accidentally, and fall in love under threat of death for both. If Skye doesn't realize her identity and meld with a creature from her home planet, billions will die or be made slaves, including everyone on Earth. I hope you enjoy Skye's and Joe's story. |
| "Ms. Wickersham-McWhorter makes writing an artwork, painting beautiful characters that vividly glow like Monet's Impression Sunrise." -Anne Seymour, Editor with the WIld Rose Press about The Winds of Fall |
| Isn't the cover fabulous? It so fits both Skye's and Joe's lives and their story after they meet, a story of new beginnings for the universe as well as them. To read an excerpt of their fascinating story click on the link below: |
| Imaginative, endearing characters and an intriguing storyline kept me interested through every page. I thoroughly enjoyed this fantastic story and look forward to more from this author. The only thing about this story that was a huge turn off was how everyone was lying to everyone else. Although with complete honesty, Skye and Joe would probably not have had such an interesting love story. Reviewed By Breia Brickey WRDF Reviewer |
| What better way to research a setting than to go there? I went to Boulder City, Nevada, when I went to Arizona for my father's funeral. The landscape is indescribably mesmerizing, addicting. Is there a better way to research a character than if they live with you? This is Sheena, who's Orion in the story. She's half husky, half German shepherd. She was almost as playful as a puppy before she died. Are all dogs followers? Her vision got bad so I'd feel her wet nose on my bare leg as we walked in the house. She didn't work Orion does, but she has the talking howl. She was my baby like Orion is to Megan. |
I've been fortunate to have three novels published. The latest is my second
inspirational romantic suspense, The Diamond Road from Soul Mate
Publishing. The first was Cottonwood Place, an Inspirational contemporary
romance set in the American Southwest. Using Navajo ceremonies and
lifestyles foreign to many, I show how faith in God can be regained after
tragedy ruins two lives. The second was The Winds of Fall, an unusual
paranormal science-fiction romance set in modern times. Scroll down to
read the reviews. I'll be posting release date and how to order the
Diamond Road when I get it.
