Sandy McKay lives in Dunedin with her husband and three children. She left school at 17, worked for five years, then gained a BA in Political Studies from the University of Otago. She started writing when her children came along.
Sandy has had articles published in several magazines, including a regular column for Kiwi Parent. Her first novel Recycled was winner of the 2002 NZ Post Children's Book Award for Junior Fiction, her second My Dad, the All Black was published last year and is included in the List of Notable Books, 2003.
She held the Dunedin College of Education's Writer in Residence in 2002 where she began work on another novel. Colin Goes Bush, also with an environmental theme and sequel to the popular Recycled, was released in late 2003. Sandy's novel Who Wants to be a Millionaire? is a lively and thought provoking story about one family's experience of sudden fortune.
In 2007, as well as publishing Losing It, her biography of jockey Christine Lawn was released in April.
