about the author
Sam Bennett still doesn’t fully trust that she can write.
But she wrote these books anyway.
They exist because of the man who inspired Craig Sullivan.
The stories are fiction, but the love is real.
He loves exactly like Craig does. Quietly. Without performance. Without asking for anything back.
Sam wrote them for him.
