If you're looking for Samantha Bryant, check the woods first. She likes to get lost there in order to find herself and she's probably near the water, with the dogs. Samantha writes about what scares her, and the result is usually either comedy or horror or some combination. She is best known for her Menopausal Superhero series of novels, which combine superhero action with kindhearted humor and explorations of friendship among women, but her short fiction runs dark.
