Meet Samantha Graves
When I was a child, I used to sit in my backyard at night and pray for aliens to come and take me away. It's not that I didn't like my life; I just always wanted to see what was "out there." Over the next hill. On the other side. I found adventure in books, mostly fantasy, science fiction, comic books and my brother's Mad magazines. Turns out, that's the makings of a writer. Who knew?
Many years later, I discovered romance and writers like Jennifer Crusie, Jayne Ann Krentz, Linda Howard, and Nora Roberts. On June 8, 1998, I decided that I was going to write my own novel. I had no idea what I was doing but boy did I have fun, and I haven't stopped since.
Sometimes, you can't wait for the adventure to come to you. Sometimes, you have to make own.
