Reckoning: A Fallen Siren Novel (24 page)

S. J. Harper
is the pen name for the writing team of
Samantha Sommersby
and
Jeanne C. Stein
, two friends who met at Comic-Con in San Diego and quickly bonded over a mutual love of good wine, edgy urban fantasy, and everything Joss Whedon.

Samantha Sommersby
left what she used to call her “real-life” day job in the psychiatric field to pursue writing full-time in 2007. She is the author of more than ten novels and novellas, including the critically acclaimed Forbidden
series. She currently lives with her husband and cocker spaniel, Buck, in a century-old Southern California Craftsman. Sam happily spends her days immersed in a world where vampires, werewolves, and demons are real, myths and legends are revered, magic is possible, and love still conquers all.

Jeanne C. Stein
is
the national bestselling author of the Anna Strong Vampire Chronicles. She also has numerous short story credits, including most recently the novella
Blood Debt
from the
New York Times
bestselling anthology
Hexed
. Her series has been picked up in three foreign countries and her short stories published in collections here in the U.S. and the U.K. She lives in Denver, Colorado, where she finds gardening a challenge more daunting than navigating the world of mythical
creatures.
