SPOTLIGHT AUTHOR:
Samantha Moran
I’m a multi-genre author primarily focused on horror, thriller, and fantasy. Everything I write involves the supernatural in one way or another because I’m fascinated by things that go bump in the night. My motto is “happily ever after is overrated” because I like my stories full of twists and mysteries. I rarely do perfectly clean endings, all tied up in neat little bows. I love a good cliffhanger or “what the f*ck” moment.
