About S. D. Smith
S. D. SMITH was born in West Virginia right before the Star Wars franchise released in 1977. Sam's missionary family moved to South Africa in 1989, and he turned thirteen there the day Nelson Mandela was released from prison. Sam later moved back to West Virginia, where he works full-time from his writer's shed, the Forge, creating soul-shaping, memory-making, darkness-shaking adventures for families. Sam and his wife of twenty-five years live with their four children in a hundred-year-old farmhouse in the country.
