Sandy Sheehy: “Imperiled Reef”

SANDY SHEEHY has written frequently on human relationships and the natural environment. Her work has appeared in Town & Country, Forbes, House Beautiful, Self, Working Woman, and Money, among other national magazines. She is the author of Texas Big Rich (1990, William Morrow), a group portrait of the state’s financially fortunate, and Connecting: The Enduring Power of Female Friendship (2000, HarperCollins). Her first novel, Deserts of the Heart, is a multicultural historical romance set in 1798 near Santa Fe (June 2021, White Bird Publications). Her third nonfiction book, Imperiled Reef: The Fascinating, Fragile Life of a Caribbean Wonder, due out October 5, 2021, from University of Florida Press, grew out of her love of scuba diving. “Drifting weightless above a coral head is the closest those of us alive today will ever come to visiting another planet,” she explains.

A graduate of Vassar College, Sheehy divides her time between Texas and New Mexico, with her husband, history professor emeritus Charles McClelland.
