Meet Samantha Rayne
She drifts like a ghost through rural America, sleeping in motels, eating in forgotten diners, working ranches in the back of beyond. Wherever she goes, trouble tends to follow. Samantha handles it with street smarts, a knife, or her fists.
Is Samantha Rayne a real person? No, she is not. Samantha Rayne is fiction. An invention. A dream. But the idea is real. She has lived in my head for two decades. Long before the website, the images, or the stories you can read today.
