Sam is an award winning screenwriter. She once declared she was a witch—though the two bus rides to the nearest occult shop made it more theoretical than practical. Sam graduated with a Law degree during the 2008 financial crash. Jobless, she escaped to Japan to find herself but instead found a haunted apartment and taught English in a Junior High School. On returning to the UK, she worked in corporate innovation but was made redundant when Covid struck. To make ends meet, she turned to gig writing for indie game developers and discovered a passion for screenwriting. Inspired by her experiences starting over and her complicated family relationships, she now pens female-led coming of age stories with a touch of horror and adventure.

All three have been translated into German.
