Hi! My name is Samantha (never “Sam,” please). I’m 31 years old and I live in Toronto (after nine years in Calgary) with my husband J and a dog named Ellie. I am a short story writer and my stories and poems have been published in Kiss Machine, Broken Pencil, The Fiddlehead and Storychord. I’m also working on a novel, but who isn’t? I’ve been blogging since 1997 but you’ve probably never heard of me. Hope you enjoy the blog and please feel free to comment and say hi!

You can email me at this address (remove the “nospam” before sending).

• My writing/blogging space was featured in “Where We Blog From” on the lovely Ill Seen, Ill Said.
• I was featured on the Habit blog twice under my Flickr name “talkradio” – First and second.
• Published work available online: Storychord Issue #22
