 About Sandra Miller-Long 
Send e-mail

In October 1999, Sandra Miller-Long was hired as the story editor and writer for the San Diego Scene Magazine. She has yet to be fired.

She describes herself to be a classy, mature woman, with a heart as big as all out doors, even the double kind that open by themselves in supermarkets. She is pro-choice, spiritually inclined but not conventionally religious, anti-dogmatic and non-doctrinaire, a headtripper without benefit of psychedelics, and a passionate but pathetic karaoke singer.

An award winner writer, she has raised five children. Not one of them reads her articles.

She is married to a wonderful man who does read her articles but refuses to admit it.

She does not look like her photograph.
