In 2014, Samantha became a bestselling author, with three books for Penguin.
Bestselling author.
Her debut book spent nine weeks at #1, breaking sales records and blowing her mind.
“Technically, Banana Rock - a story about murderous singing fruit - was my first book at age 8. But I got sidetracked by my TV career and completely forgot my dream.”
She's living proof it's never too late to become who you were meant to be, "I'm currently on version 5.0!"
Twisted self-help.
Because sugar-coating is for cupcakes.
Her new series of books is a refreshing take on self-help.
"I write what I needed when everything was falling apart, because hard times need humour and equal parts of wit and whimsical wisdom."
Creative.
The journalist and award-winning producer has developed creative multi-platform content for more than 100 organisations.
"I love creating content that engages, empowers and educates the audience. My background in media and communications means I'm able to use a range of formats for impactful storytelling."
Ethnic stir-fry.
Samantha was born in England to South African parents, who were a mix of Indigenous African (Xhosa), Chinese, Javanese and European. She spent most of her childhood in NZ and lives in Australia.
Her ethnicity is complex. But interesting.
Kinda like her.
