- 3 words to describe yourself?
Creative, generous, driven
- 3 people you would like to thank? (For
example, your publisher, your cover artist, your editor, or someone special in
your life)
I’d like to thank my mum, Paulina, for
raising us alone and doing it well and for being the best example I could have
for raising my own children. I’d like to
thank my brother for being the biggest fan I could have. I’d like to thank my husband and kids for
letting me be weird when I need to, and understanding my need to write that all
down. All the time. At all hours.- An excerpt from your book, approximately 300 words long.
“Hi. You
must be Mrs. Flood’s niece, Calliope. She told me about you.” Callie turned to
find another girl standing there, dressed in the same ill-fitting school
uniform. She had an armload of books and appraised Callie with a friendly eye.
“My name’s Suzette Price, but you can call me Suki. Everyone does.” The girl
did a little bow and finished it with a curtsey.
“Hey.
I’m Callie.”
“I know.
Your aunt plays canasta with my grandmother.” Callie gave Suki a close look
over. Suki just laughed. “Oh, the already-knowing-you thing? You’ll have to get
used to that. Haven Falls is a small town, and everyone knows your business. We
knew you were coming here to live more than a month ago. Since Holly Hills is
the same school your momma and auntie went to, we just knew you’d be going here,
too. You’re part of a legacy.”
Samantha Combs is a Southern California author with eight published books: Her Young Adult paranormal titles, the Global Ebook Award-winning debut title SPELLBOUND, SPELLBOUND's sequel, EVERSPELL, GHOSTLY, and WATERDANCER, a middle grade horror called THE DETENTION DEMON, and her adult horror collections, TEETH AND TALONS, WAY PAST MIDNIGHT, and HELLOWEEN. THE DEADLIES is her ninth book and her fifth paranormal. She enjoys writing YA paranormals, both dark and light, and supernatural fantasy and romance, but it is her love of horror that started it all. Thanks, Mr. King.
When she’s not writing, she works full time
and enjoys spending time with her husband and two children. Her guilty
pleasures include reality television, the Food Network channel and shoes. She
truly believes she can accomplish
anything if she has the right pair of shoes. And she adores totally
inappropriate earrings.
Samantha loves writing and publishing her work and is in awe of the technological advances of our lives. With all of the genres there are for a reader, she has learned that writing paranormal and horror lets her share all the weirdness of everyday life in a not-so-everyday way. The foundation of a good story is all around her. All she has to do is….breathe.
