Samyra Alexander, author of the mind-twisting novella The Hostage, has always flourished as a storyteller. Her love of reading sparked her imagination and led her to write psychological fiction.

From Gary, Indiana, Samyra now calls Los Angeles home. With a doctorate in clinical psychology, she explores mental health issues and their taboos through creative fiction. When she’s not working as a psychotherapist, she’s creating memorable characters readers want to strangle.
