Sam Blood lives in Auckland, New Zealand, where he spends his days writing urban fantasy, eating, and trying to impress his spectacular Sri Lankan lawyer wife with plot twists. He started writing the first book about magical creatures called Shadows when he was nine years old, and frankly, things have spiralled out of control ever since. If you enjoyed his books, he’d really appreciate a quick rating or review—reviews help indie authors get seen! www.sambloodauthor.com www.instagram.com/sambloodauthor www.facebook.com/sambloodauthor

Quotes by Sam Blood (?)

“I've done such terrible things. I don't know who I am anymore. I don't know what's right or what's wrong, what's forgivable and what's not. I don't know if we get punished in the afterlife or if this, you and me, is all we get before the endless black. All I know is that you have to live. Because you belong with me. You're my Shadow.”
― Sam Blood, Shadows

“The things we do to each other, eh?" Raven mutters, more to himself than anyone else. "We grasp for power so that we will be loved. We seek even more of it so that we never have to rely on love again. We kill for love and we kill to escape it.”
― Sam Blood, Eclipse: Book Five in the Shadows Series

tags: love, power

“People can change. They can be better. They just need to make a promise to themselves, and decide to keep it.”
