About Me

This is me,
Sam Terry

Hello, I'm Sam, and I love cats, as you can see in the picture!

Oh no, wait, I’m supposed to write something about being an author…

Alright: I write kid's activity books, adult guidance books, poetry, and a comic series called "Cat's Incidents". Check out my book pages for more info on them!

I self-publish on Amazon's KDP, doing all my layouts, graphics, covers, and marketing myself - though I'm obviously not great at marketing. In my world, people should be drawn to my work because they feel the joy and sparkle from my heart that I put into everything I create. Not because I want to find reasons why they desperately need to buy my book! You don’t have to buy my books at all! I’d just love if you did, and even more if you liked them.

Yes, that’s how I think marketing should work.

*looks at her sales numbers - Well, there is definitely room for improvement. A lot of room. Like a warehouse-sized room.

Anyway… let’s do some bragging and hope it helps: My most popular book is the German "Finding-Friends Book," "Das Freunde-Finden Buch." An after-school program even gave it to over 50 kids for Easter! Oh cat, did that make me happy and a little bit proud as well!
[/end of bragging][insert sighing emoticon]

I started my career with a fantasy book in 2012, and since then have written 10+ more books with three more being lined up for publishing this year (2024 - don’t know when I will update this bio again).

I've loved writing since I first learned how, but generally, I’m open and active in any kind of creative endeavor. Creativity is my reason for living. I also run a podcast - that I’m struggling to maintain…

I enjoy using AI for translations and research, and generally as an assistant to my every day solo-coping-with-business-life. As we won’t be able to stop new technologies, we should really learn how to use them as good as we can.

Hm, when I started to write this bio, I had no idea what to write and now it escalated a little bit. Perfectly, authentically me!

*takes a bow

PS: I’m from Germany. But one day I want to live in the US.

Or whoa - maybe you want to do an interview with me? I’ll be rich & famous one day, so better book your slots now. They might get rare eventually! No, I’m just kidding. I’ll always have time for you. Because you were the one who visited my site when I wasn’t anywhere near rich & famous. So thank you very much :)

Veni, vidi, emi. I had to go for a walk, because I was on the brink of panic attacks again. (Yeah, I'm far from constantly being a perfect, fun and healed person. Live with it or don't. I have intense emotions.) So I fled outside to take some deep b

My mothzilla baby hatched & he’s gigantic! ~10 days ago, I stumbled across a monstrous chrysalis, next to a walkway. It was a yuk at first sight, as I’ve never seen anything as horrifying in my entire life. But the depths of life in
I'm at this train station twice a week, and I've never consciously noticed these specific graffiti. Butterflies rule my life at this moment and I'm absolutely loving it. On my walk yesterday, I was deeply in thought about my recent past, present an
I don't know what this is with me and butterflies these days. It started with the one landing on my nose, then I rescued mothzilla's chrysalis from its sure death, and now a peacock butterfly thought it was a good idea to land right in the middle of
Hello, I'm Sam and I'm 7 years old. I love edible paper but I never saw paw patrol. Yet. Do you have edible paper in other countries as well, or is it a German thing? It's as healthy as eating a sock, but I absolutely love it, since my childhood! #
For the video: Found this today. I've no idea what it is, but it made noises like insects from a horror movie. You know, this crunchy sound... I'll make sure to visit it everyday from now on and see what comes out of it! Do you have any idea what it
