SamiJo is a first-class shenanigator, decorated coddiwompler, narrator, creator, and award-winning author. She is the creator of the Abney Kelly series and the Hecate Grimm series. She has also published a children’s book with illustrator L.K. Kaphengst, and a book of short stories with the Wednesday Writing Club.

In 2025, she won fourth place in Writer’s Digest’s prestigious annual writing competition for her short story “One Samhain Night.”

SamiJo is one of the co-founders of the North Dakota Book and Arts Festival in Jamestown—a festival where authors and artists never pay for table space, and admission is always free. This event is about removing barriers and giving every creator a chance to shine. SamiJo is proud to work with Jill Pfaff and Laurel Pfau from the James River Library System and Aaron Cloyd from the University of Jamestown to make this dream a reality.

SamiJo calls North Dakota home, where she shares life with her husband and a lively little menagerie. When she’s not busy imagining new worlds at her keyboard, you’ll find her draped across her favorite armchair with a good book, stumbling through new video games, or causing mischief during a round of Dungeons & Dragons.

Connect with SamiJo on social media! She loves hearing from fellow readers and writers. Being an author is a small business, and your support means the world.
