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 battles 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.

Oh my god this is brilliant. I do love historical fiction, especially to do with american presidents and as I started reading I realised how brilliant this is. Tight writing that flows brilliantly and gives just enough away. I read the latest comment and it was like being transported back in time a ... view book

I love both your pitches, they are both powerful and make this sound like a brilliant story and judging from the opening that is exactly what this story is. I love the way that something is happening at the beginning and grabs you right from the word go. Your writing is brilliant and so easy to read... view book

I love chapter one, it is brilliant, easy to read, flows really well, funny, charming and you get a real sense that things keep happening but are not sure why yet. You also set the scene well without breaking up the action, which is not easy to do, describing the colour of the chair as she sits down... view book

I have just read the opening and have to say, I find this completely charming and as enchanting as the theme. You set the scene for the farm house so well and I love the talk of the lay lines and that everyone who comes to the house is happy and healthy and then the next part tells us that something... view book

This was very interesting to read, funny which I always like and flows incredible well, very easy to read, I would just say that in the third paragraph, when he is talking about his favourite subjects you have subject instead, just a tiny nit pick that is easily corrected, other than that a brillian... view book
