<div>== Biography ==<br />
<br />
<br />
Samantha Sommersby has been writing romance since 2001. She was first published in 2005 and also writes under the pen name of [[Lara Williams]]. Her background in the medical and specifically the psychiatric field is apparent in her work and allows her to bring a unique perspective to characters and stories. Sam loves to spend the day in her office creating - spinning rich tales, and weaving together interesting plots. Her aim is to create a hero that will literally sweep a reader off her feet.<br />
<br />
<br />
She currently live in Southern California with her husband of sixteen years, her twelve year old son, and a cocker spaniel named Buck. Sam's husband is a Social Worker who works with abused children. He's an avid sailer who loves to surf and you'll find bits of him in every hero that she's ever written. She describes her son as wonderfully sensitive with a sarcastic sense of humor. He plays the piano, composes his own music, is a competitive fencer, and worships video games.<br />
<br />
<br />
Like most writers, she'll tell you that she's always desperately trying to balance her "real life" work, family, and writing. She still works a full-time job, writing in the wee hours of the morning or on weekends. When she does manage to set aside some "play" time for herself, then you'll most likely find her reading a book, at the movies, or out wine tasting (She collects California Cabernets).<br />
<br />
<br />
To date she's been publishing with [[Linden Bay Romance]][http://www.lindenbayromance.com] and is extremely pleased to be a part of their family of authors.<br />

<div>At Linden Bay Romance, LLC we aim to offer quality romance with strong characterization. Our authors have a unique voice and can write a story that you will remember long after you've finished the book, stories that you will want to return to again and again. Our tag line is escape with us, and we want the reader to do just that. Be it a house by the sea, or a ship in full sail, we want the reader to be there with the characters right to the end. The best kind of feedback is the kind that says the reader loved the characters and will never forget them, or their story. There's a wonderful tingle factor that comes early in a book when you realize that it's hooked you and it's going to be a great read - that's what we're aiming for in our books. We want our readers to say, I couldn't put it down. <br />
