The Stolen Girl (19 page)

amantha Westlake grew up in the heartland of the United States, surrounded by the open fields of the Midwest. But a farmer's life wasn't for her, so she set her sights on moving out to the coast, to the big city.

Samantha now lives in San Francisco, where she finds her creative genius constantly inspired and challenged. When she isn't hard at work writing, she spends her time sitting at the coffee shop down the street and watching the passersby, imagining fantastic lives and stories for them.
