Interview with Sara Taney Humphreys at 2011 RWA Nationals!
A native of Louisville, KY, I graduated from the Kentucky Baptist Hospital School
of Nursing in 1976 and then went on to earn a BSN from Indiana University in 1989. Horse crazy from the time I knew what a
horse was, my family moved to rural Indiana in 1989. Since then, I've managed to accumulate a number of animal friends, but
am currently holding at two horses, four cats, and two crazy little dogs, Bugsy and Peaches!
I have been married to the same wonderful man (aka Budley) for more than thirty years, and
we have two grown sons, Mike & Sam. I've been working full-time as a critical care nurse for more than thirty years, and
while this has been an exciting and rewarding career, I have recently cut back to part-time to allow more time for my writing.
As a writer, I find that any fantasy you have can
come true if you simply write it down. I've been keeping my friends entertained with my books for a number
of years, and self-published a book in 2006, If You Could Read My Mind, writing as Samantha R. Michaels.
Slave was the first of my books to be published with Sourcebooks Casablanca, and has since been followed by Warrior,
Rogue, Outcast, Fugitive, Hero, and Virgin. Stud is the current release, to be followed by Wildcat in
February 2013. In June, 2011, I self-published an ebook titled Sex, Love, and a Purple Bikini.
I'm a member of the Romance Writers of America and the local Indiana chapter. I’ve
recently published a series of erotic short story anthologies along with some of my INRWA friends which are published by Siren.
We call ourselves The Sextet and we've had so much fun with this, it ought to be illegal! I have another novella in
the works with Siren titled Small, Medium, & Large; A Toy Story, which is due to be released in April 2012.
My other interests include cooking, gardening,
singing and guitar playing. I'm still hurt that The Eagles got back together without me!
