Samantha Greene Woodruff

Samantha Greene Woodruff is the author of Amazon #1 bestseller The Lobotomist’s Wife. She studied history at Wesleyan University and continued her studies at NYU’s Stern School of Business, where she earned an MBA. Sam spent nearly two decades working on the business side of media, primarily at Viacom’s Nickelodeon, before leaving corporate life to become a full-time mom. In her newfound “free” time, she took classes at the Writing Institute at Sarah Lawrence College, where she accidentally found her calling as a historical fiction author. Her writing has appeared in Newsweek, Writer’s Digest, Female First, Read 650, and more. Though she grew up in the New Jersey suburbs, Sam now lives in Greenwich, Connecticut, with her husband and two children, their two dogs, and a small reptile zoo. When not writing, Sam practices yoga, hikes, and occasionally indulges her love of singing with mandatory family karaoke nights.
