Sandra Belton is the author of a dozen books of fiction, including the Ernestine & Amanda series, McKendree, Pictures for Miss Josie, and Store Bought Baby. Belton graduated from Howard University and got her graduate degree in education from George Washington University. After several years she left teaching to develop technology components for the educational market. She has always loved telling stories and in 1993 her first book for children, From Miss Ida’s Porch, was published and praised by Publishers Weekly as "a powerful debut." In November 2013, the Ernestine & Amanda series is being newly released by Amazon Publishing, and, in addition to featuring several changes, includes a never-before-published fifth book, Ernestine & Amanda: Goodbye. Hello…. Belton says, "Ernestine and Amanda are the keepers of my childhood memories and dreams. Their voices echo the ones I heard while chasing lightning bugs and playing at twilight with the kids down the street. The events of their lives and the heroes they celebrate are the ones of our heritage." Belton grew up in Beckley, West Virginia, a town she describes as having "wonderful porches"—porches being a common theme in many of her stories. She loves reading and, like Ernestine, playing the piano and remembers well a time before TV, computers, and video games—"those wonderful imagination-building hours."
