 | |  | |  | |  | |  |
A.C. Sanders picked up the writer's quill after the age of fifty. Perhaps it reflected the accumulation of life experiences. He was suddenly fired by a need to give those experiences form through words. Time spent in the military provided the opportunity to produce technical testing scenarios and proposals. As a business entrepreneur, A.C. developed communication skills writing copy, newsletters, business plans, and proposals. He takes special pride in his approach to letter writing: concise and to the point, clear use of words. Mr. Sanders harbored no intent to become a WRITER. It just happened in 1994, when he was inspired to write a short story. He Never Knew Her Name won a regional award. Sanders was off and running. A.C. has since written several award winning pieces. Excerpts from some of these are available on the portfolio page of this website. "There's an old Senior English teacher at Lubbock High School, Miss Honey, now spinning in her grave at the thought of 'that Sanders boy' writing seriously." He laughs, "It's okay, she'd be laughing with me." Commissioned in 2005 to write the war plaques for a Veterans War Memorial located in the Veterans Park of Las Cruces, New Mexico, A.C. produced what represents his finest achievement to date as a writer, honoring those fine men and women who sacrificed so much for each of us. Sanders has presented at The Texas Folklore Society annual convention, edited The Inkslinger newsletter for the El Paso Writers' League, and published articles and short stories in local and regional magazines. The Remnants of a War is published on the Virtual Archives of the Vietnam Center at Texas Tech University. A.C. Sanders presently contributes regularly to El Paso Magazine, writing a regular history and folklore column plus feature articles.
