Samantha Bryant

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. She’s a fan of the small beauties of life, especially the ones Mother Nature made and enjoys taking macro photographs of the things she finds on her walks. Her rescue dogs think this is a great idea because it means they get lots of time to romp in the sunshine.

In her writing life, Samantha mostly writes superhero and horror stories, which one depends on whether she wants to save the world today, or burn it down. She also likes to play in other genres from time to time, including science fiction, literary fiction, and poetry. Her influences have been mostly complex, complicated, and problematic women, full of passion and willing to make trouble to make a difference.

She's best known for her Menopausal Superhero series which you can get from Falstaff Books, on Amazon, or request it at your favorite independent (or big box) bookstore.    

What Else You Should Know About Them:

Describe all the geeky goodness you'll be bringing to the next Geekery Market! What kind of items will you be selling?

In my little library of books I’ve written, you’ll find a great variety of subjects, from menopausal superheroes to daylight ghosts to people-eating plants.

What is something that surprised you about making / selling your wares?

For an introvert like me, I was surprised to learn that it can be fun to sell your books at events like these. You get to spend your day talking about books and stories with other excited geeks. Heavenly.

What has been one of your favorite stories so far while running your business?

The very best was stepping away from my table to take a short break and spotting someone sitting in the hallway at a convention with Going Through the Change, the first book in the menopausal superhero series. Not only had they bought it, they had immediately sat down to read it. Having someone that excited to get started on my book had me soaring for days.

What is an interesting fact about your wares / business that you want to make sure everyone knows?

I write a lot of different kinds of stories, so if you read speculative fiction, there’s probably something for you at my table.

Looking over the list of artisans this year, what is one of the booths you are looking forward to visiting?

I’ve got a good feeling about Angel’s Mystical Artifacts. I suspect I’ll be finding some holiday gifts for both of my kids there.
