Author of the dark, intoxicating romance Drawn Together, Samantha Zamora is a storyteller, an explorer of human chaos, and a firm believer that life should be filled with passion, a little drama, and the perfect amount of unpredictability.

Born and raised in California, she has always been drawn to creativity, whether through writing, fashion, fitness, or whipping up something delicious in the kitchen. She loves cooking healthy American and Mexican dishes, baking, and keeping up with all things beauty, health, and wellness.

When she’s not writing, Samantha is either discovering hidden gems in the food scene, planning her next adventure, or breaking a sweat at the gym. A firm believer in balancing indulgence and wellness, she finds joy in both a great meal and a great workout—because why not have both?

But let’s talk about Teddy Bear, the true star of the household. Weighing in at a solid 15 pounds of lovable fluff (not fat—just big-boned, thank you very much), he is a professional cuddle enthusiast and self-proclaimed king of the household.

His hobbies include demanding attention at the most inconvenient times, chasing feather toys like it's a full-time job, and sampling every available lap for optimal comfort. He quite literally dropped into Samantha’s life like a gift from the universe—one day, he just appeared at her doorstep, and obviously, she had no choice but to adopt him.

Currently studying Hospitality and Tourism at Cal State East Bay, Samantha dreams of blending her love for writing and event planning—because who says you can’t chase more than one passion?
