Spicy, emotional stories that hit hard and love harder.

Sam Bolanos (she/they) is a genderqueer romance author who mixes heart, sass, and just enough trauma to make the happy ending hit hard. Based in Texas with her three dogs and one perfect husband, Sam writes stories full of queer joy, messy emotions, and kisses worth writing about.
Sam writes queer contemporary and paranormal romance. Their characters are multi-faceted, a touch rebellious, and work hard to earn their HEAs. Sam thrives on subverting expected character archetypes and creating worlds readers want to get lost in. Majority of their stories are MM (gay) romance, but they also have several other pairings.
From Pride festivals to queer romance cruises, Sam Bolanos loves meeting readers, fellow authors, and anyone who believes in big feelings and happily ever afters. Whether you’re after a signed book, a selfie, or just want to talk favorite tropes, check out where they’ll be next!
