Sanders Anne Laubenthal (December 25, 1943 – May 15, 2002) was an American poet, novelist, historian and textbook writer.
Laubenthal served the United States Air Force from the time of the Vietnam War, starting writing on-the-job training books for trainees in comic book style to train for lower level jobs such as dining hall cooks.
Having reached the rank of Major in the Air Force, she retired, but continued to do research and write many reports/articles for the military.
She had just finished her last military project and received payment for another reprint for Excalibur before she died from diabetic complications.
Much of Laubenthal's work concerns Mobile, Alabama, of which she was a native.
