A travel agent by day and YA enthusiast, writer and host by night, Samantha's combined interests keep her busy and addicted to coffee. After graduating from a journalism degree and starting a career in travel, she continues to explore her love for the written word by writing whenever she can and working on her own novels. Her favourite books are those that have her fully immersed in another world, and though she is a sucker for an enemies-to-lovers storyline, she will always love the YA classics she grew up with like Divergent, Percy Jackson, and The Hunger Games.
