“The Umbrella Series” is a creative writing project Sandy began in 2011 to express her quirks about umbrellas and how she dislikes them. Taking what she describes as a “silly pet peeve” into a deeper meaning by associating the hatred of umbrellas with experiences in a girl’s life growing up was both personal and semi-autobiographical for Sandy. “The Umbrella Series” doesn’t need to be read in any particular order for the reader to understand. Each story is only a few pages long, so if you’re looking for a quick read – this series is for you!
