\"Samantha<\/p>\n

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Samantha A. Cole – A retired police officer and paramedic turned romance\/suspense author. <\/span><\/p>\n

When and Why did you start to write?<\/strong><\/p>\n

2011 because I was bored after a fourth knee surgery. Unfortunately, my first attempts at writing were horrible. I decided to give it another try in 2015 and the Trident Security series was born.<\/span><\/p>\n

What authors do you always read or suggest to others?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sooo many! Cherise Sinclair, Lexi Blake, Avery Gale, Angel Payne, Kennedy Layne, Nicole Edwards, Susan Stoker, Suzanne Brockmann, Jerrie Alexander, Cristin Harber, Christie Reece, Vince Flynn, Heather Graham, JA Jance, Iris Johannsen, Kay Hooper, (and the list goes on and on). <\/span><\/p>\n

What is the most surprising thing you have found out with the writing process?<\/strong><\/p>\n

That I can’t take my characters where I want them to go. They lead me. <\/span><\/p>\n

What are you working on now?<\/strong><\/p>\n

5 projects lol<\/span><\/p>\n

When writing are you a pantser or plotter?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pantser all the way. <\/span><\/p>\n

What are your social links?<\/strong><\/p>\n
