You’re in!

Welcome to the coven!

Check your inbox in about 5 minutes, I’ve just sent over the digital key to my secret library of short stories. If you don’t see it, make sure to check your junk or spam folder - sometimes the algorithm likes to hide the good stuff!

While you wait… step over the threshold.

My latest release, The Moon Is a Door, is officially out in the world. It’s a story about a young witch, grief-fuelled magic, and twisty friendships that require finding your inner strength to escape.

If you love dark academia, young adult fantasy, and a little bit of gothic decay, I think you’re going to feel right at home in the halls of Deighton Academy.

About the author

Hi! I’m Samantha B. Cummings, and I write young adult fantasy, with a heavy dose of dark academia. My catchphrase is ‘magic, myths, and monsters’, which hopefully tells you everything you need to know!!

When I’m not weaving words into captivating stories, I’m often tending to the herbs in my allotment, making way too much pasta, drinking WAY too much coffee, and watching all the TV shows and movies I can get my hands on… all with my furry best friend, Juno, my energetic Beagle familiar.

I believe fiction is way more fun than reality, and I’m so happy you’ve joined me on this journey.

Let’s stay connected

Social media is where I share the unpolished bits of my writing life; from work in progress, to snippets, my current reads, and way too many chatty videos about tarot, and my weekend work tasks!
