Samantha is a historical fiction author with a passion for weaving gripping tales steeped in history, mystery, and the gothic. Her debut novel, Tower of Vengeance, invites readers into a richly imagined past filled with intrigue and revenge.
Ravenscourt, a Victorian Gothic steeped in mystery, deception, and seduction, is a standalone novel now available.

After a long career in investment banking, she traded the fast pace of the financial world for the serenity of the sea, where she now lives with her two cats, Belle and Rudy. Her deep love of history has been nurtured by over 13 years of volunteering at the Tower of London, a place that continues to inspires her writing.

With a PhD in English from Birkbeck, she has always been drawn to stories that delve into the darker corners of the human experience.

She is currently working on Tower of Wolves, a sequel to Tower of Vengeance and the second in The Raven and the Rose series set in the Tower of London.
