USA Today-bestselling author Samantha Lee Howe began her professional writing career in 2007 and has been working as a freelance writer for small, medium and large publishers ever since.


Samantha’s breakaway debut psychological thriller, The Stranger in Our Bed, was released in February 2020 with HarperCollins imprint, One More Chapter. The book rapidly became a USA Today bestseller.

Pitched as Killing Eve meets Jason Bourne this is a nerve-shredding, enemies-to-lovers tale simmering with obsession and espionage.


In August 2020, Samantha signed a deal with production company Buffalo Dragon for the option and screenplay for The Stranger in Our Bed. The feature film went into production in November 2020 and is due for release in Summer 2021.


To date, Samantha has written 21 novels, 3 novellas, 3 collections, over 40 short stories, an audio drama and a Doctor Who spin-off drama that went to DVD, as well as the screenplay for The Stranger in Our Bed.
