Samantha Hunter lives in Syracuse NY where after working as a university writing instructor for ten years she's been writing full-time for three. Her first book was a Harlequin Blaze, Virtually Perfect (July 2004), that was the very first book she ever wrote (so don't think it can't happen!). Since, she's written seven more books for Blaze, with more on the horizon.
When she's not writing, reading about writing, thinking about writing, or talking about writing, Sam enjoys spending time with family and friends, walking with her husband and their dogs (usually picking his brain on plots and character development, or talking about books they are reading at the time), learning to quilt, working in the unruly gardens that surround her house, and reading. Some of her favorite popular fiction authors are Charlaine Harris (If Sam could pick any book she'd wish to have written, it would have been one of Charlaine's...the woman takes you places no one else has gone and makes you happy to be there....), Harlan Coben, Lisa Scottoline, Carla Neggers, Dee Davis, Sarah Mayberry, Lori Wilde, Cara Summers, and the list goes on. Favorite TV shows are LOST, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Bones, Desperate Housewives, and most fantasy/adventure/comedy that focuses on rich characterization and compelling storylines.
Sam looks at life as a continuous story being played out around us, and writers are people who just happen to be paying attention at the time. She enjoys grasping what she can of those observations and transplanting them in books, weaving them into new tales, and hopes to be writing romance in all its different facets for many years to come. You can find Sam chatting on the eHarlequin boards most days, on her website, or you can drop her an email at .
