Sam Skidmore was born and raised in the countryside of England. Growing up with far too many siblings to count, he quickly learned the art of hiding. These hours of hiding, usually with a good book and a pad of paper, gave birth to his passion for reading and writing. After moving to the United States, he wrote his first book at the age of 10, complete with giant gumball machines and a pizza with monstrous pepperoni. The inspiration for The Harrowed series came to him during his two years living in southern Florida. He is beyond excited to have a book of his own that doesn't involve robot monsters and too many plot holes to count. He is grateful for the opportunity to share his stories with the world, and is looking forward to repeating the process many times in the near future.
