About Samuel Stephen
Welcome to Samuel Stephen Chronicles. I’m Samuel Stephen, a writer of historical and speculative fiction. My work explores the edges where history, myth, and imagination collide — from the blood-soaked jungles of South America to the storm-lashed coasts of medieval Europe, and the neon shadows of early Hollywood.
By day, I work in the world of investigations and compliance. By night (and early mornings), I write stories that uncover forgotten histories, reimagine legends, and ask what lingers in the silences of the past.
My Novels in Progress
- Defiance of Silence – a reimagining of the 1381 Peasants’ Revolt
- A River Unrelenting – a descent into madness during Orellana’s Amazon expedition
- The Orbits of Stars – ambition, scandal, and obsession in 1920s Hollywood
Why Chronicles?
Because stories are records, too — of who we are, who we were, and who we might yet become.
