Sam’s got an impressive backlist, a passion for storytelling, and a big heart for the indie author community. In this episode, we talk about what it’s like to shift from writing under a pen name to owning your voice with your real name. Her advice? If you’re scared, do it anyway.
Sam doesn’t believe in failure—only learning. She follows her passion, writes what she loves, and has built a recognizable brand by doing just that. From her love of Teen Wolf (both the ‘80s and the reboot) to her bittersweet goodbye to the werewolf series she adores, we chat about writing less popular subgenres, embracing sustainability in your career, and what it really feels like to finish a series.
We also dive into the inspiration behind her own podcast and why she’s committed to sharing everything she’s learned as an indie author. Breaking the algorithm may feel impossible, but Sam reminds us: community and visibility matter.
Her next series? Think The Craft meets teen rebellion, soaked in magic and nostalgia for the Buffy, Charmed, and Angel era we all still crave.
