Writing, Reading, walking through the woods with my dogs, horseback riding, doing power yoga, going to movies with my daughters, and mass eating events with my family.Movies
..
Romantic comedies of all kinds. Fantasies, including: All Harry Potter movies, Lord of the Rings, Vampire flicks that aren't too bloody.Television
..
I don't watch much television. I'd rather read. My oldest daughter, Megan and I like to watch series on DVD, minus commercials and whenever we want to watch. We loved 24; Alias; The Office; and we're currently getting into Buffy because some have likened my heroine Astra Q Phelps to her.Books
..
Where do I start? I love JD Robb, and to a slightly lesser extent her books as Nora Roberts. I like Kim Harrison. I consumed the Diana Gaboldon, Outlander series and Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth series. I recently discovered CL Wilson, R Garland Gray, Karen Chance, and Kelley Armstrong and have really enjoyed their work. The list could go on forever!
Heroes
.. I always tell my husband he's my hero and it's true! My mom is also my hero because she's lost a husband and a beloved dog over the last couple of years and she still continues to not only live her life but enjoy it and seek out new adventures. She just bought her first pair of jeans and loves them! She's in her seventies and still works out with us (and we work out hard in my family!), plays tennis several times a week, and has a busier social schedule than I do. For all these things and more I love and respect her more than I can say. So there Mom!

About me:
...... .. .. ...... .. ..Like a coven of witches under a Gibbous moon, I dance the razor edge between fantasy and reality, alternately reaching toward the freedom and delight of life in my fantastical world and then drawing back reluctantly, before it pulls me whole into its tempting embrace. I function well enough in the real world, but throughout my day I glance fondly and often toward my fantasies, holding wistfulness in my heart, along with the hope that someday I can shake off the real world’s hold on me, and jump butt first into delicious whimsy.
In my real life, I live on a hobby farm in Indiana with 10 dogs, 4 horses, 2 barn cats, 2 daughters, and one husband. Not necessarily in that order. When asked why, why, why on the 10 dogs (yes, they all live in the house!), I simply shrug and say that I'm stupid. But what I really mean to say is that I'm a dog-aholic. I of course can’t be blamed for my addiction. I am a victim. And along those lines, if anyone knows of a support group for this addiction please write me at samcheever@samcheever.com and fill me in.
I have a website at www.samcheever.com, where I try to keep readers up to date on my comings and goings as well as my current and future projects. I also keep a blog at http://tweenyouandme.blogspot.com/. Please visit occasionally to find out what I have on my mind. Just remember as you do that I am sometimes only one extremely small step away from permanently entering the world of fantasy. For this reason I should be taken VERY lightly!

Sam Cheever's Tall, Dark And Purple Hero Hits The Shelves Today!
PURPLE PROSE by Sam Cheever
When she hits the writer's block of all writer's blocks, Lindsey Prince thinks her muse has abandoned her. But she opens her door one day to find a gorgeous new one standing there, "anxious" to help her finish her current project. There's only one problem...her new muse, Zahn, has been turned purple by Calliope, Chief of the Muses, for indulging in Purple Prose. Unfortunately, his fate rests on Lindsey submitting a purple prose free manuscript to her editor. No pressure there.
To make matters worse, Zahn apparently has a powerful and cranky ex-girlfriend who isn't all that thrilled by the growing attraction between Lindsey and Zahn. She'll do anything to stop Lindsey from submitting that manuscript. Anything. Based on the extremely heated "research" she and Zahn have been indulging in, Lindsey knows her sexy IR story will sizzle. She only needs to live through the process of writing it.
No easy task, that...in this sexy new fantasy by award-winning author Sam Cheever.

TWEEN HEART'S FIRE AND DEVIL'S DELIGHT by Sam Chever
Book three in her Dancin' With the Devil series.
Astra's world is flipped upside down when she's called to a demon nightclub to rescue her magic-phobic sister, Darma. Turns out the event is only a precursor of the weirdness to come. A veil of twisted magic is descending over the Earth and it's making everybody crazy. Humans are killing humans, magic users are killing other magic users, dark worlders are attacking humans at an alarming rate, and madness is rolling over everyone in waves. When the guardian angels start succumbing to a rare disease called Devil's Plague, Astra decides a visit to the prophet is in order. But before Astra can get her arms around it all, she finds herself facing the biggest challenge she's ever had to face, being surrogate parent to a baby dragon. No way!
It's a whole lot of stuff for one little Tweener to manage. But Astra Q Phelps is definitely up to the challenge.

Tween A Devil And His Hard Place Now Available In Print
If you thought Astra's life was going to get even a hair more dignified, you'll be so disappointed with this story. But if you were looking for more laughs, more adventure, and more hot love you'd better make room on your cyber shelves for this sequel from Sam Cheever!
Astra Q Phelps and her Royal Devil, Prince Dialle, must navigate a demon uprising that is rumored to have been instigated by the local Witches' coven. The demons are demanding to be released from service to the Royals so they can have a seat on the Dark Council. When Dialle's father, the king, disappears from his chambers and Astra recognizes the magic signature that's left behind as her parents', she realizes her family has more to do with the unsettling events than she would have hoped. Then a very powerful angel and lifelong friend of the Phelps family tells Astra that her father is under suspicion of being a dark angel and Astra is forced to spy on her own father to try to clear him. It's a whole mess of trouble for one little Tweener to sort through, but Astra Q Phelps is definitely up to the challenge.

Just wanted to thank you for being my guest over at the Tiki Hut today!
DeNita
AuthorIsland. com
This Tuesday, I'd like you to meet award-winning urban fantasy author, Sam Cheever.
Sam Cheever writes fast paced fantasy and romantic fiction with feisty characters who deal with life's little challenges in unique and often hilarious ways. As a reader Sam is very impatient. She quickly loses interest if a story doesn't have a good pace and snappy dialogue. Sam's inability to focus in a backwash of human angst and subtleties works out well for her readers, since she writes the way she likes to read.
In her real life, Sam lives on a hobby farm in Indiana with 10 dogs, 4 horses, 2 barn cats, 2 daughters, and one husband. Not necessarily in that order.
To learn more about the author and her work, visit her website at samcheever. com and her blog at tweenyouandme. blogspot. com or come friend her at myspace. com/samcheever.
Stop by and say hi on Tuesday over at the Tiki Hut -authorislandtikihut. blogspot. com
