Sandra Bell-Lundy

Canadian Sandra Bell-Lundy began her career as a cartoonist by creating comics for her university campus newspaper, a women's networking newsletter and some newspaper ads.

After developing a cartoon strip which was loosely based on a group of her cohorts, she self-syndicated to a number of southern Ontario dailies for four years.

In 1994, "Between Friends" attracted the attention of King Features and is now syndicated to nearly 130 newspapers worldwide such as the Toronto Star, the Montreal Gazette, the Calgary Herald, the Seattle Times, the Tuscon Citizen and the Houston Chronicle. In addition to Canada and the United States, it also appears in 11 countries as far and wide as Australia, India, South Africa, Jamaica and the United Arab Emirates.

"Between Friends" celebrates the essence and angst of three contemporary, forty-something women friends: Susan, Kim and Maeve.

"Between Friends" has been collected in two anthologies, "Hello, Daughter" (Plan Nine Publishing) and "Coffee, Tea and Reality" (Andrews and McMeel).

Born and raised in St. Catharines, Ontario, Sandra now resides in Welland with her husband, Tim, their two children, Devin and Tara and a golden retriever named Newman.
