My primary job isn’t writing; it is as a mum to three amazing children, two with additional needs, who keep life wonderfully busy and full of joyful chaos.
When I’m not spending time with my family or working in my teaching hustle, writing and sharing my love of books have become my essential escapes. On this site, I share all things Sam’s Escape Shelf, diving into my deep passion for reading, book reviews, and recommendations. It’s also where I share the books and short stories I write, insights into my writing process, my journey on Substack, and reflections on family life and navigating the world with neurodivergent children.
Researching the historical cold cases and dark history I cover in Murder Mayhem UK is another huge passion of mine. Having children with additional needs means full-time employment isn’t always possible, so my writing and newsletters help pay for the extras. If you are a paid subscriber, know that your support every month is a true godsend for our little family.
