I’ve recently learned a life lesson. Step out of your comfort zone!! For the first time, I wrote an article for a magazine - Lithuanian Heritage Magazine. It was a bit scary at first, but once I got into it, I really enjoyed it, especially the research. I now have the actual hard copy magazine. I’m really proud of how it came out. What a great feeling an accomplishment and pride! I almost said no when asked to do this. I knew it was something I never did before. I’m glad that I changed my mine and stepped out of my comfort zone. 7/2026
Book Review: Reflections & Echoes
Chicago native Sandra Colbert's latest poignant short fiction collection features characters who make life-changing and life-challenging choices. Left behind and pushing forward are the answers and those who must come to terms with those decisions' effects.
Book Review: Chicago Bound 2
“It is imbued with nostalgia toward the difficult and complicated decisions made by young people and their parents as old and new generations collide in substantive cultural and moral ways.”
Book Review: From Golfwell for The Reason
“The author has an interesting style with very interesting dialog that keeps you fascinated and gives insight into believable characters as this dramatic page-turner develops.”
Book Review: Damaged Souls
Ultimately, there are two kinds of detective novels: compelling and complacent. Damaged Souls by Sandra M. Colbert is a heart-pounder. This story of a horrible crime and its impact is a highly enjoyable read. It will keep you on the beach compulsively turning the pages long past the protection of your SPF lotion.
Book Review: The Reason
The Reason by Sandra M. Colbert is a compelling page-turner about a heinous murder. From the beginning, there is little doubt who committed the crime. The suspense that drives the book is not whodunit but why they done it.
Book Review: Chicago Bound
“This is her first book of short stories but I’m betting it certainly won’t be her last.”
