about me


I have lived in Salisbury, UK all my life. I love living here as it is so historic and I love anything historical. I work full time as an administrator for an E-commerce department.

I am what you might call a reclusive writer as I love staying in and working on my book or coming on this totally addictive website and dream of one day reaching the top of the ed's desk chart and of course getting that elusive agent/publisher.

If anyone would like me to have a look at their book, please don't hesistate to ask, as long as you don't mind returning the favour and if anyone would like to contact me by email, my address is: sandra.newman24@btinternet.com.

The Crown of Crysaldor

Sandie Newman

After a dark age of three hundred years, an adventure begins to restore Crysaldor. The crown must be found that was thought lost forever.


It is the year 1050. In the magical kingdom of Crysaldor, a fierce battle rages between King Horius and his evil brother, Dorin. Following the battle’s devastating outcome the kingdom’s name is changed to Dorinia and all talk of Crysaldor, forbidden. As the magic in Crysaldor only works when the king’s crown is complete, Dorin removes its diamonds and throws them away, forcing the kingdom into a dark age. Over time, Crysaldor becomes a legend that only a few remember.

Three hundred years later and the time has finally come for the crown and diamonds to be found. A group of friends including a young girl, a ranger, a pixie, a fairy and a baby dragon, begin a thrilling and perilous adventure that will take them all over Dorinia. As they follow the Unicorns of Alorvia they discover the windy Ever Mountains, the Valley of Fire and the very heart of Crysaldor itself.

Together they must somehow find the courage, determination and strength to find the lost crown and diamonds and restore Crysaldor before the magic fades forever.



Cover by the brilliant Bradley Wind

This is an incredible read, glad you reminded me. I love the way you write in the present tense, something I don't come across very often but it works here. This flows so well and I had to stop after a page to tell you how good it is. The dream is brilliant, as weird as dreams are. Ths is a brillian... view book

On my list. view book

I have to say, I liked the "Let's make some history." line, very punchy. This was a joy to read, easy to follow and had a great and pleasing flow to it that I think is also brilliant and important. It is an inspiring and very interesting story that I will be back to read a great deal more of. On my ... view book

This is some excellent writing, it's very poetic and really tells well how desperate it is to be imprisoned. My favourite part was when Zabu is was waving his hands in front of his face to remind him of wind and pacing his cell to remind him of being in a field, sheer genius! I love the way he keep... view book

I have read alot of chapter one and will be back for more. This is hugely enjoyable. I had no idea this was about a reality show set in space, brilliant. Being a huge fan of The Amazing Race and yes, not quite the same thing, but this is good reading. I really like the fact that you don't set the sc... view book
