Sam Hayes was born and raised in the Midlands, and started writing at the age of ten. She has worked as a private investigator, accounts assistant, nursery nurse and waitress, and could fly a plane before she could drive a car. Sam has lived all around the world but eventually settled back in the Midlands, where she lives with her Australian husband and their three children. She is passionate about her organic vegetable plot and has recently taken up sailing again.
After seeing numerous short stories published, her first novel, Out of Mind (2004), was picked up by a small independent press. She has since been signed to Headline on a two book deal, and Blood Ties (2007) was a dazzling debut and one of the major titles of autumn 2007. A powerful blend of mystery, thriller and gritty women’s fiction, the rights to Blood Ties have already been sold in a number of European countries. She is currently working on a follow-up, due to be published by Headline in summer 2008.
