about me/meet the author

I've been writing this book for like 4 years now, and I've gained a whole lot of readers on this book which is hella amazing, but you new and old readers, you guys probably don't know that much about me, so allow me to introduce myself.

My name is Samantha, but everyone usually calls me Sam. I'm 20 years and a female. I'm also bisexual. It took me a long time to come to terms with my sexuality and fully embrace myself. It's not that I looked at being gay or bi as a bad thing, because it's not; I was just so uncomfortable with who I was as a person already that adding something that I considered pretty major was really scary and intimidating for ages, so for a lot of my life I was in denial.

I was born on Halloween at 5:02pm which is a birthday I also share with my late grandfather who died when I was four, six days after our birthday.

I've always really liked to read, my favourite author growing up was Roald Dhal and my favourite book was Matilda, which was also my favourite movie growing up.

I was born in Rotorua, New Zealand which a small city in the middle of the North Island. I still currently live in the same city and I love it, but also hate it at the same time.

I went to an all girls high school and graduated high school a few days after turning 18 years old. I work at McDonalds although, not for long.

A lot of my writing is based off of songs and or real life situations that have truly happened to me. For 3 years I had a major crush on a co worker who has a girlfriend, and a lot of my writing is based off of that crush and how he has a girlfriend. I'm still currently trying to get over it.

I try to keep as true to myself as possible in my writing, which means not everything is happy or is going to have happy endings, and even though it's fiction, I like to keep as true to reality as I can.

I'm also a singer and have been singing since I learnt how to talk, I come from a very musical family and I can also play piano.

I'm a bigger girl and that has had me down through my life, I've tried to lose weight plenty of times but it's just never worked and it's been super upsetting. But I try not to let it get me down too much, especially now that I'm in my 20's.

When I was 19 years old I fell pregnant, and I was so scared and I had no idea what to do. I knew the father wasn't going to be in the babies life and I still live at home with my mother. At 12 weeks. I suffered a miscarriage, it was upsetting but I felt that I wasn't upset enough, and I really beat myself up about it because I should've been devastated that I lost my baby, but the fact was I was really numb and really confused.

Im obsessed with youtubers and Disney movies, as well as romcoms and horrors. That's literally all I will watch on tv.

I started watching Dan and Phil when I was 14 years old when my best friend introduced me to them, by sending me a link to one of their collabs bc she knew I was angry at her for missing school, and she thought it would make me less upset at her.

I don't write much anymore because writing can be draining and I'm such a perfectionist and when I feel that something isn't good enough, I will scrap the entire draft and cry.

I've been writing for 6 years, almost 7 years

Here's some photos of me so you can know the face behind the books
