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. (As long as you’ve sorted yourself out over there.)

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 :)

Nature... 🐾🌱🐁🦔 Cute paw prints, baby mice and a hedgehog saying Hi randomly appearing next to my meditation bench 😄 No idea who put it there... But thanks, it made me smile 🥹
Nature is my hiding place... The other day I saw three baby mice and a green lizard! I wish I could stay outside forever... 2026 is very difficult for me. Confusing and straining. I'd have to go on a 3 year vacation to recharge my batteries at all.
June 3 - It's Egg Day today! In eggpreciation of everything eggy, I'm collabbing on Instagram with myself and a Golden Egg. Eggs stand for a very special time in my life. 🥲 Take care, everyone, and don't forget to appreciate the eggy side of life
Another wonderful day with another beautiful friend. We even stumbled into some live music. This wasn't a hike, but a walk with a lot of deep, psychological talk. We were very lucky weather-wise, it rained exactly once, and that was when we arrived a
A polar bear 🐻‍❄️, a Lion 🦁 and a monster 👹 went on a hike... they felt so very adventurous that they got lost a couple of times, so four hours turned into eight. The well deserved dinner afterwards made it ten hours. I shall say no more, but
That time of the year... #eurovision Germany will not get many points. We never do 😅 But it's okay. Peace everyone 🕊️ and enjoy!
Love is all around me. It's literally everywhere I go. Half of the pictures were taken in one day within about half an hour. Love was suddenly everywhere! And it was the day before my unexpected "date." 😅 Ah, I feel like I've so much to
Photo dump of my favorite train station 😅 I'm still on a social media break. It helps to get some overdue things done and to calm me down. And I've also realized I have to do a whole ton of self-work still and that I'm not as healed as I wished I w
A belated birthday present 😂 This is how someone sees me and they said they cracked up when they found it in the shop. A crazy horse with a sombrero. 🤔🤣 I'm gonna use this cup in my workplace!
