About Me


Welcome to my MySpace! I am Samantha Graves, and I write contemporary romantic suspense adventures with a paranormal twist for Grand Central Publishing (formerly Warner Books).
On a personal note, I am a mom to two great kids, a wife to a wonderful hubby, the caretaker of one very stout cat, a fiction writer and a technical writer. I consider myself pretty blessed.
Thanks for stopping by.

My Interests

I read a lot. I write a lot. And I do a rockin' weekly podcast with my best bud Lani Diane Rich, called Will Write for Wine, which pretty much says it all.

I'd like to meet:

Readers, writers and fans of books everywhere. Please note that I will not add Friends under the age of 18.

Music:

My collection is all over the place.

Movies:

Action-adventures, romances, sci-fi's, and good stories.

Television:

Not much. Mostly the Food Network, History Channel, Science Channel, and Syracuse University basketball. Go Orange!

Books:

But, of course!

Heroes:

My parents. All the brave men and women who serve our country.
