About the Author

Sandra Charamba-Simtikidis is a Canadian writer. She resides in Tampa, Florida when she isn’t living out of a suitcase while on tour with her famous husband, world renowned guitarist, Pavlo. They have 2 daughters, and a very affectionate puppy, they call “Kefi” – which is a Greek word that can be translated to “positive vibes”.

Sandra homeschools their youngest daughter, Viola, and they enjoy reading hundreds of books together.
Dimitra and Viola have had to learn to cope with having to be away from their Daddy while he spends weeks and sometimes months on tour all over the world. It became imperative that their girls fully understand that when Daddy is away, his love stays in a very literal way.

This became the inspiration of Sandra’s first children’s book, “When Daddy Is Away”.
