About the Author

She is the author of Drawn Together, a romance about second chances, ambition, and choosing yourself when staying would cost too much.

Born and raised in California, Samantha has always been pulled toward creative work. Writing is at the center, but she also loves fashion, wellness, and food. She has a soft spot for authentic Mexican flavors and American comfort classics, depending on the day.

When she is not writing, you can usually find her exploring the city, planning her next trip, or getting in a workout. She is big on balance and likes life best when it includes both a good meal and a good sweat.

At home, the household supervisor is Teddy Bear, her fifteen pound ball of fluff. His skills include showing up at the worst time, launching surprise zoomies, and acting like every chair belongs to him. He is the reason Samantha thinks everyone should adopt.

Samantha is currently studying Hospitality and Tourism at Cal State East Bay. She cares deeply about meaningful experiences, whether that is on the page, in real life, or in the way a story makes a reader feel less alone.
