About the Author

Illinois native, Samantha James, had many childhood dreams but not one of them was to be a writer. Before setting off for college, she had wanted to be an astronomer, archaeologist, detective, and nurse. She met Mr. Right on a semi-blind office party date. Unfortunately, six months later, the US Army sent him to Germany. Samantha jokes that writing all those letters to him was the beginning of her writing career. They married and had three children. During her busy time as a mother, she was exposed to historical romance and fell in love with the genre. That summer, she wrote three books – all of which were rejected. She struck pay dirt with her fourth. To date, she has published over twenty books and continues to write passionate tales of old.
