Sam Stewart was born in Zambia, grew up in South Africa and now lives in England with her two children.

She has been fascinated by fire since a very early age when she accidentally set her bedroom alight, and though Fireblood features some spontaneous blazes and a fair amount of unexpected flame she has been very careful with anything burny ever since. 

Fireblood (March 2023)  is Sam’s first book with Firefly Press
