ⓘ About Samantha Lee Howe

Samantha Lee Howe is a USA Today bestselling author of mystery novels. She started out as a screenwriter and spent several years doing that until she got into professional writing in 2007. Since then, she has been working for large, medium and small publishers predominantly writing fantasy and horror. Her journey toward becoming a published author was a long one even though she has always been a writer. As an eleven year old, she made the decision to become an author but gave up her dream as life got in the way as an adult. She got back into the saddle when she decided to do a Creative Writing Master’s Degree. She wrote her first manuscript as the dissertation for her degree and her tutor liked it.
