ABOUT ME

DSCN0359.JPG

  Hello!

​

   Since this section is meant to be about me, my name is Samantha but prefer to go by Sam. I married one of the hardest working men I've ever encountered in my early twenties, Billy, and have two amazing dogs, Coco, an eight-year-old beagle, and Moose, a six-year-old Labrador mix! I'm 28 and immensely passionate about writing.   

   During my early childhood, it wasn't unusual to find my mother soaking in a bath clutching a paperback. I know, I know, but I promise no books were damaged beyond readability. One of her favorite authors of all time was, of course, Stephen King!

    In my early teens, I began writing in a journal - lots of poetry and general entries about my days. It wasn't until about eighteen or nineteen when I first had the urge to write a story. That story was Panophobia which means Fear of Fear. This story took me less than a year to write the first draft but it embodied truths and secrets I hadn't yet found the courage to voice aloud. 

   So, I set the manuscript aside and dove head first into everything and anything to do with writing. I worked a second story for a good eight years while I learned and practiced the craft of writing and attended a local writer's group for a short period. My learning isn't over but after close to ten years I decided, I can't let my stories collect any more dust!

   King mentions every writer has an intended reader, someone they're writing for, and that person is my mother. I'm striving to write stories my mother would have soaked in the bath with - books she'd sacrifice to wet hands for the sake of not putting them down!
