Books by Samantha J. Ellis | British Author

Books about identity, survival, transformation, healing and finding the courage to write a different ending.

Some stories need more than a song.

Samantha J. Ellis is a British author and memoirist based in Southport, England. She also records and releases music under the stage name Sammy Ellis.

Her writing explores many of the same ideas found throughout her music — identity, resilience, love, survival, healing, transformation and the courage to begin again.

“Your past can shape your story without defining its ending.”
