about the author

Sammy H.K Smith lives and works in Oxfordshire UK as a police detective. When not working she spends time with her children, husband and pets, renovates her house, and inadvertently kills plants. A keen writer and lover of all things science fiction and fantasy, she’s often found balancing a book, a laptop, a child, and a cat whilst watching Netflix.

Sammy also freelance edits, specialising in developmental and structural editing and copy-writing. 

In 2013, she co-founded Grimbold Books with imprints Kristell Ink and Tenebris Books. In 2017 Grimbold Books was named the best independent science fiction and fantasy publisher at the British Fantasy Awards.
