After exploring several different careers including music, Information Technology, breeding and raising American Saddlebred horses, and pastoral counseling, she has finally taken the plunge and started writing.  When Sam isn't writing, she's reading, playing mmorpg games with her children, or relaxing with family. Sam lives in central Ohio with her husband on a small farm and is currently hard at work on her next novel.
