***Winner in December 2021 Read/Review/Share Contest - The Empaths***

Hi! Welcome to my page! My name is Sam and I'm a 43 year old book worm from NSW, Australia.
Reading has always been something I've loved - I mean, who doesn't want to escape reality for a while into a world with magic and dragons, right!  

Fantasy and romantasy are my absolute faves these days - things like ACOTAR, Throne of Glass (Sarah J Maas is a genius!!!), Blood & Ash, Zodiac Academy... I mean, I could go on forever. And I'll never get sick of Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings.

I started writing The Empaths over 15 years ago, and over time these kids have changed and evolved from vampires (thank you twilight for giving me the inspiration to get back behind the computer and write again) to witches (Practical Magic and every book in that series is just so beautiful), to the kind hearted Empaths they are today! 
Their home in Blackwood, and everything within this world that lives so vividly in my mind is my own personal escape. It's a place where you can be exactly who you want to be and you'll be loved and accepted no matter what - even on your worst day! 

So please, have a read and feel free to send me your feedback. I'd love nothing more than to hear from people who enjoy reading and writing as much as I do! 

I've had a minor hiatus and haven't had the chance to write too much, but I'm diving back into The Empaths to do some major edits, and I'm hoping to start an insta page soon with all the images I've been creating (thank you chat gpt!) showing scenes from the books! 

Stay tuned everyone! 

Thank you for dropping by, and I hope to hear from you as you're reading my books!
