As she stumbles into the middle of perplexing mysteries, gets on the bad side of some desperate villains, and blunders her way through terrifying ordeals, her wild adventures may break her if not for her warped sense of humor and strong faith in Jesus. Along the way, each experience, both big and small, strengthens her faith and resilience. Come with Sam as she tackles the world in this hilarious Christian mystery series.

Full-length novels have been planned (if the Lord wills) so stay tuned!
