About the author
Born and raised in Northern New Jersey, Samantha Cory grew up watching horror movies. The childhood of Alexandra written in “Careful What You Wish For” was actually Samantha’s childhood. She grew up loving witches, vampires, werewolves, and anything supernatural. That love was due to the original Dark Shadows television show. Things that went bump in the night never scared her. Samantha could hear the bats flying around her neighborhood.
During the seventh grade, Samantha found out that she was related to two people accused of witchcraft. That was during the Salem witch trials, according to a family history book. With this knowledge, she dabbled in the occult, doing spells, séances, and even voodoo.
