About

Hi, I’m Sam!

I’ve been writing my whole life, scribbling stories on anything close to hand from the shopping list to napkins to post-it notes (don’t mention post-its to hubby haha).

I grew up reading fantasy of the likes of Anne McCaffrey, Terry Pratchett, and their peers. I’m also a lifelong vampire fan, along with all things spooky. In my late teens I was introduced to paranormal romance and discovered a whole new layer of story telling with a bit of a spicy edge! Taking what I learnt from all of the above, I devoted myself to creating full-bodied characters, meaty plots, epic adventure, and a little bit of naughty sauce on the side.

I write speculative fiction that doesn’t fit particularly well into any specific sub-genre, but after many years and a lot of angst, I’m okay with that. I love all my characters and their stories for different reasons, but have a soft spot for an excellent villain and a tortured protagonist.

I currently live in south east Melbourne, Victoria, with my hubby, two kids, a Golden Retriever and a turtle. I volunteer with the Romance Writers of Australia, and I’m passionate about good writing, interesting characters and happily ever afters.
