Biography

Samantha graduated with a BS in Journalism from Florida International University in 2003. She wrote and reported entertainment scripts that were aired on FOX WSVN 7 (DECO DRIVE) in Miami, FL and OWL Radio at Florida Atlantic University in Boca. She is passionate about writing and has been writing short stories and poetry since she was a kid, after learning that her favorite grandmother was a poet. Samantha began writing children's stories in 2004. She has completed a 18,000-word humorous, animal-talking, chapter book called MURPHY: THE PHAT CAT, which was published by TOUCHPOINT PRESS in 2023. In addition, she wrote a 62,000 word MG fantasy, RAINBOW CRYSTAL (book one) and the sequel, RAINBOW CRYSTAL: THE SPECIAL BOY WHO COULD, approximately 72,000 words, which were both published by THE WILD ROSE PRESS. She is in the process of writing RAINBOW CRYSTAL as a trilogy. She adapted RAINBOW CRYSTAL into a feature screenplay. Samantha also co-wrote and finished a screenplay based on a true story about her Italian great-grandparents, MANO NERA, which is being entered into film festivals and shopped in Hollywood. It has been officially selected over twenty-five times in film festivals with FILM FREEWAY. Ten of them have been award winners. She is also member of SCBWI, ISA, ROADMAP WRITERS, COVERFLY, and STAGE 32.

Samantha lives in sunny South Florida with her husband, Richard, and two children, Bella and Lorenzo. They live on two acres in Davie with many different pets, from dogs and cats to an exotic desert tortoise and albino iguana. She enjoys reading, watching her favorite movies and shows, working out, writing, spending quality time with good friends, and traveling, whenever she can find extra time. She has a lot of love, abundance, and activity around her; she feels blessed — and even sometimes stressed — every day for it all.
