Samantha Gillespie writes clean romantic fantasy. All the angst with none of the smut. She lives in Houston with her husband and their ever-expanding menagerie: cats who've crowned themselves royalty, a dog with strong opinions about the weather, and chickens whose sole mission is acquiring treats and destroying the yard. When she's not breaking hearts through fiction, she thrives on copious amounts of coffee, sharp wit, and the delicious tears of her devoted readers.
