Samantha Sheridan

Samantha Sheridan’s love for the outdoors was nurtured during her early years growing up on a farm. Raised on the west side of Colorado, she developed a deep appreciation for the Rocky Mountains and the farming traditions of the American West. At age six, her family returned to her grandparents’ farm in west central Ohio—but the mountains never left her heart. Their quiet call stayed with her through the years, later finding new meaning in the Smoky Mountains, a favorite family destination that would ultimately inspire her Tennessee mountain romance.

With a major in Communications from Wright State University’s Lake Campus, Samantha began a dynamic career in media and the arts. She first worked as an on-air radio personality before becoming a society editor for a local newspaper, where her passion for storytelling took root. Her creative journey continued as she founded her own promotion and marketing company, later serving as manager of a high school Performing Arts Center—roles that allowed her to combine her love for communication, creativity, and community.

​

A later opportunity with a Nashville-based company deepened her connection to the music world, enabling her to weave songs and storytelling together in a way that makes her novels uniquely emotional and cinematic.

Samantha’s novel The Silver Heart beautifully blends her artistic vision with the real-world influences of the American Quarter Horse Association, Montana Silversmiths, and several talented Nashville songwriters. “I love what I do, and I can’t wait until my next book is published,” she shares. “I write with my heart, and I want my characters to feel like your best friends or family.”
