Samantha decided that she wanted to be an author when she was in second grade, and she has been writing stories and novels ever since. Her first publication was "White Lady," a short story about the ghost said to haunt the library of her college, Mansfield University. She later published "Sacreya's Legacy," a serial novella about a zombie detective. When she isn't writing, she can usually be found reading, playing video games, or browsing the Internet.
