Samantha Mabry

Samantha Mabry is an author born in 1980, just days before John Lennon's death.

Growing up in Dallas, she immersed herself in music, playing bass guitar and writing fan letters to rock stars.

Her passion for literature developed early, as she spent time reading extensively and writing song lyrics in notebooks.

Mabry's connection to the West Texas desert, where she frequently spends time, influences her work.

Her debut novel, A Fierce and Subtle Poison, was published by Algonquin Young Readers in spring 2016.

Mabry's writing style often incorporates elements of magical realism and explores complex relationships in unique settings.
