Sandy Tritt is president of the Ohio Valley Literary Group
and leader of the prose workshop. She is a frequent reader and lecturer at
writer’s workshops, libraries, bookstores and educational functions. She is
the author of three novels. Ray's Legacy explores the effects of
alcoholism on a passionate family of musicians. “The Rebirth” is a twisted
condensation of this novel, using different characters, different dialect,
different circumstances and a different setting.
Joey's Legacy continues the saga of the Gambel
family. Joey, now a successful night club owner and father of five, battles
cocaine addiction as he strives to break into the rock charts while Danny, the
immature heart-breaker, fights for his life after a suicide attempt.
Her first novel, Living the Legacy, won second
place in the West Virginia Writer’s Novel competition, and an excerpt won
first place in the People’s Choice Awards. Her short stories have been
published in Gambit, a literary magazine, and local journals. Both her fiction
and non-fiction have received many prizes and awards. She has also published
seven technical manuals and was a contributing editor for MAPICS the Magazine, a
trade journal for IBM software users. She has served as the Publication
Consultant for Confluence Literary Magazine for the past two years.
Sandy lives with her husband, Butch, who pretends their
family is “normal”; her three creative and energetic little girls who
entertain themselves by bungee-jumping from bunk beds and skiing the stairs on
inflatable mattresses; and Jessie, the psychotic collie, Bunny-Bunny the Bunny
and Albert the Goldfish. Herbie, the dead earthworm, has fully disintegrated and
is no longer considered a family pet. Sandy's home is the gathering place for
children of all ages, but she embraces the energy and activity, and, yes, even
the confusion.
