Samantha M Clark

Samantha M Clark is the award-winning author of middle grade novels THE BOY, THE BOAT, AND THE BEAST and ARROW, both published by Paula Wiseman Books/Simon & Schuster, and AMERICAN HORSE TALES: HOLLYWOOD, published by Penguin Workshop/Penguin Random House. She's also the author of the GEMSTONE DRAGONS chapter series published by Bloomsbury. She has always loved stories about ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances. After all, if four ordinary brothers and sisters can find a magical world at the back of a wardrobe, why can’t she? While she looks for her real-life Narnia, she writes about other ordinary children and teens who’ve stumbled into a wardrobe of their own. In a past life, Samantha was a photojournalist and managing editor for newspapers and magazines. She lives with her husband and two kooky dogs in Austin, Texas. Samantha is the Regional Advisor for the Austin chapter of the Society of Children’s Book Writers & Illustrators, and explores wardrobes every chance she gets.
