Joan L Sample was born in Memphis Tennessee, and grew up in New York. Joan's first novel, Life, Will It Take Me Under? A novel that was inspired by an HBO special of runaway's living on the streets. It is a novel of hope and second chances.

Joan just finished her second novel, titled 'Malevolence Thy Name is Karen' which was released March 19, 2014 from LazyDay Publishing. This novel takes readers into the mind of a murderous creature, a soul stealer. The soul stealer is a demonic spirit that kills the soul of newborns moments before its birth and replaces it with its own murderous soul. The soul stealer is born to the unsuspecting parents in place of its innocent newborn. Its purpose is to bring devastation to the world.
