Over the years, I’ve actively tried to make as many (dating) mistakes as possible - to get them out of the way and learn as quickly as possible what works and what doesn’t. If I’ve met my goal with Screw Cupid: The Sassy Girl’s Guide to Picking Up Hot Guys, by the last page you’ll have no doubt as to how to pick up any Hot Guy of your choosing in any situation. You’ll also have laughed out loud with me and at me, thought I was a genius,thought I was an idiot (in a “What was she thinking!” sort of way), and most of all, wholeheartedly agreed with me that waiting around for the Hot Guy across the bar to come and talk to you is the lamest thing EVER.

I wrote Screw Cupid to level the dating playing field for women, and also to share my discovery that picking up the reigns and taking charge of your dating life is powerful, exciting and very easy. I share my hard-earned knowledge (through intense trial and error!) how to simply and naturally start a conversation with that Hot Guy you’ve had your eye on, and get to that golden mecca - Date #1 - in an ego-safe, easy and fun way.

When I’m not trying to improve the lives of the dating population through dating coaching and writing books, I spend my free time taking pole dancing classes, people watching in the ubiquitous coffee shops of Seattle, and hanging out with my boyfriend, whom I met using the techniques in Screw Cupid.

I’m a recent transplant to Seattle (via Los Angeles), and I have degrees in English and Bio-Geography from UCLA. I would LOVE to hear from you. Email me about anything you want at sam@screwcupidthebook.com.
