Samantha H. Sloan writes adult speculative fiction that explores legacy, identity, obsession, and the stories people leave behind. Drawing inspiration from folklore, classic literature, and history, her work often centers women navigating the complicated inheritance of family, memory, power, and myth.

A lifelong storyteller, Samantha balances her love of writing with a career in environmental engineering. She is drawn to stories that blur the line between the ordinary and the uncanny, exploring the ways the past continues to shape the present and the choices that define who we become.

When she's not writing, Samantha can usually be found reading, traveling, wandering bookstores, exploring the outdoors, or researching obscure historical details she absolutely does not need for her current manuscript. She lives in Northwest Arkansas with a menagerie of opinionated animals.
