Good work.

What would happen when a diabetic daughter and her quadriplegic friend investigate a generational mystery? The answer has nothing to do with disabilities and everything to do with love. Sandramccullochauthor.com
I'm in full flow with By Judge Alone, a legal thriller with strong characters who struggle to overcome generational shame.

Just finished my memoir The Generational Hush, how the McClary trilogy repaired my nervous system. Now I'm working on a new project, The Fir and the Forgotten Man, a historical fiction on the life of David Douglas, a botanist who discovered the tree long ago yet is relatively unknown.
Cover reveal for The Generational Hush: A Memoir.
Yes, thatβs me.
Yes, thatβs my cat Peeyah.
Yes, he made the cover.
Frankly, he earned it. Sandramccullochauthor.com
Nancyβs book is resting around 60K.
Iβm editing The McClary Burden in small, steady passes, and Andrewβs story just found its new prologue.
My memoir has quietly stepped forward again this week.
Eight people visited my website β eight sparks. Iβll take it. β¨Sandramccullochauthor.com
The McClary Code is about love moving across time to reach the ones who believe they donβt deserve it. Sandramccullochauthor.com

Meet Ranger, an unusual horse not just for his breeding -- a line of Spanish blood -- but for his protective instincts for those in his circle. #TheMcClaryCode, #TheMcClaryBurden, sandramccullochauthor.com
First there was The McClary Code. Then came The McClary Burden. But the story does not end with the men. Nancy McClary was born into loss, yet she will carry the name forward.
One day, her voice will claim its place. sandramccullochauthor.com
This is the story of a family bound not by perfection, but by a code of love for the ones who felt unworthy of it. Sandramccullochauthor.com
First thereβs The McClary Code about my ancestor Major Andrew McClary. Now Iβm writing The McClary Burden about his nephew Michael McClary. High drama. Family bonds. Sandramccullochauthor.com
June 17, 1775. Smoke rises over Charlestown. My ancestor Major Andrew McClary falls at Bunker Hill β the last American officer killed that day. His story has waited 250 years. Iβm writing it now. #HistFic #AmRev sandramccullochauthor.com
History is full of unsung heroes. I found mine in Andrew McClary. Who is your ancestor with a story waiting to be told? #HistFic #TheMcClaryCode sandramccullochauthor.com
As a journalist, I chased breaking news. Now I chase echoes of the past. Writing history feels bigger than headlines β itβs giving voice to those who canβt speak anymore. #WritingCommunity #McClaryCode

I used to chase stories like a hunter.
Andrew McClary taught me the truth: the best ones are the stories that hunt you.

Itβs hard to tell this guy Iβm donβt think Iβm a good enough writer to pen his story. He just wonβt have it.

Has a story ever chosen you?
Not just a subject you liked β but one that wouldnβt let go until you gave it voice?
Thatβs what Andrew McClary did to me.
Sandramccullochauthor.com
I thought I was writing novels.
Turns out, I was waiting.
Waiting for the one story that made everything else make sense.

When thunder rolls, I think of musket fire echoing across Charlestown. Andrew McClary faced storms of a different kind β but the sound still rattles something deep in me.

I catch myself checking the exits when I shop, as though Andrew trained me to keep one eye on escape. Old habits of a soldier β even when written down β linger. How have your characters influenced you?.

Sometimes I feel a 6β6β soldier follows me through Walmart. His stride is steady, his eyes sharp β as if even under fluorescent lights, Andrew McClary is still on guard.

Sometimes we think weβre choosing a subject. Then an ancestor steps out of history, lays a hand on your shoulder, and says: βThis one is mine. Write it true.β
Sandramccullochauthor.com
Writing about Andrew McClary has revealed a vital truth to me: sometimes we do not choose our stories.
They choose us. I spent years writing good manuscripts that never quite rang true. Andrew made sure I knew why. They werenβt his.

Ever wonder whatβs like to write an ancestors life story? You get visitors in the middle of the night saying βIβve been waiting for you!β

Iβve returned to writing with a completed manuscript: The McClary Code, based on my direct ancestor Major Andrew McClary β the last American officer killed at Bunker Hill. Iβm now seeking representation. Details at sandramccullochauthor.com.
