Colorado Author — Sandi Ault

June 15, 2009 By: Patricia

Sandi Ault’s first Jamaica Wild mystery, Wild Indigo, was released in January 1, 2007, followed quickly by Wild Inferno in 2008, and Wild Sorrow, released in March 2009. Jamaica, who begins the series as a Bureau of Land Management agent in New Mexico, is a student of Pueblo culture, an interest that often gets her in trouble with tribal authorities as well as her BLM boss.

The second book in the series allows Jamaica and her wolf, Mountain, to get up close and personal with a forest fire. Since author Sandi Ault is a fire information officer, she writes from firsthand experience. I recently finished reading Wild Inferno. The fire scenes are intense, and the book was hard to put down. I’m looking forward to Wild Sorrow.

Not only a fine writer with extensive knowledge of the land and culture in which her protagonist performs her duties, Sandi is also an entertaining speaker and workshop instructor. The interesting and poignant tale of the original and real wolf, Mountain, can be found at Sandi’s website. To find out more about Sandi’s race to finish the fourth Jamaica Wild book, Wild Penance, visit Sandi’s blog.

    These books sound fascinating – especially the fact that she has a wolf named Mountain. Her background reminds me a little of Nevada Barr, one of my favorite mystery writers.

    I’m even more impressed at how I got here – by following a Twitter link from Alan Chin. Guess I’d better upgrade my Twitter skills.

    Thanks for the info on Sandi. Being a speaker and workshop facilitator is always a great arsenal to have for self promotion for writers.

    I like animals, especially dogs, as a supporting character. So much creativity an author can do with a dog that they cannot with a human.

    Yes, Galen, I got a little teary-eyed when I read about the real Mountain, but it explained why there is so much about the fictional Mountain in Wild Indigo.

    I, too, live in New Mexico. I’ve been considering this area and culture as the basis for a novel. I’ll get one of these books to see how Sandi has approached and handle it.
    On another note, I’m such an animal lover and softie that the story of the real Mountain sounds like I’d be in tears for a week, so, maybe I’ll pass on that.

    These sounds interesting since I live in New Mexico and love the Native culture here.
