Hi, I’m Sammy. This is the longer version
The front page has the highlights. This page has the more personal conversation. Imagine learning this over a cup of tea, or coffee, or if the time is right a glass of wine and a charcuterie board.
Welcome to my little home on the internet. It’s not a fancy place, but I hope you feel at home here.
Like you, I wear a number of different hats in my life. I’m a wife, mother, friend, and employee. And I’m passionate about a lot of things: books, good tea, being outside and healthy, my family, and the power of conversation and listening.
And I’m a writer. I love to tell a good story. I love to get engrossed in a story. When I write, stories pour out of my fingers. I like to explore what motivates characters to behave the way they do, whether good or bad.


If we’re Going to be friends, here are
5 Things About me
I am a lover of a good book, an engaging story, cuddly animals and a mug of hot tea (and sometimes a sip of wine).
I live in the midwest, but was raised in Utah. I’m a mountain girl at heart and my happy place is a small cabin in Big Cottonwood canyon.
I’ve been married to my long-distance high school sweetheart for 28 years.
Every night I drink a cup of bedtime tea while I am reading in bed.
My life is pretty crowded with adult kids, three cats, and one friendly golden retriever.
