Welcome, Readers!
For most of my life I have been an educator, but when I started looking towards what might be next, I returned to my childhood love: writing.
My stories explore the genres that I love to read (expect some mystery, fantasy, science fiction, among others) and the themes that touch me most.
If this sounds appealing, you are invited to subscribe to my newsletter, below. Then pull up your favorite reading chair and enter the worlds that I have immensely enjoyed creating.
Coming soon!
What am I working on?
A Cozy Vales short story, “The Magical Things About Doors and Books”
A memoir, “Becoming Sanderson”
Collecting some short stories in an anthology, “You’re Always Coming Home.”
A book of advice and tips for math teachers, or any teacher really.

Sage words from the masters:
“There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.” —Ernest Hemingway
“You never have to change anything you got up in the middle of the night to write.” —Saul Bellow
“One day I will find the right words, and they will be simple.” —Jack Kerouac
“You have to write the book that wants to be written. And if the book will be too difficult for grown-ups, then you write it for children.” —Madeleine L’Engle
“Let me live, love, and say it well in good sentences.” —Sylvia Plath
“If you sit on the door-step long enough, I dare say you will think of something.” —JRR Tolkien
Me and my older brother, Mike, around 1974, in Chepachet, RI.

While exchanging writing pieces in a weekly challenge:
PL Sanderson: Sorry. If I had more time, I’d write more.
MT Sanderson: If I had more time, I’d write less.
