Sandra Schmidtke

I was born and raised on the windswept Canadian prairies in Winnipeg, Manitoba. I am the winner of the 2019 San Miguel Writers’ Conference Writing Contest in Fiction, have been published in the Winnipeg Free Press, and have freelanced for CBC Radio’s show Now or Never. I have a B.A. in English from the University of Manitoba. A Friend until the End is my first novel.

A Friend Until the End

Arthur Millman wears the shadow of his mortality like a shroud, and I know that our time together will be brief but profitable. I give this commitment two months, tops.
Grey wisps of hair do nothing to conceal the marigold tinge of jaundice on Arthur’s scalp. Glee bubbles up in my heart. Pancreatic cancer is a hard-hearted mistress, and she has had her way with this thin, nervous man. While my latest client reviews the contract, I count backward.
