    Sam Brooks

    Sam Brooks was born and raised in Nashville, TN. His improvised rhyming skills all began when his brother, Trey, introduced him to freestyling over instrumental hip-hop beats in the car on the way to school. From there, Sam began to explore new vernacular terrains by providing the lyrics during jam sessions with his mates. Once he graduated college, he continued to write poetry while pursuing the art of acting. Sam’s most recent projects include: DC Universe’s “Stargirl,” R.L. Stine’s “Fear Street 2,” and an indie feature titled these “These Streets We Haunt.” All of these are to be released in 2020.  Follow him and say “hello” on Instagram: @storyofsambrooks Also, feel free to slide on into his DM’s and let him know your thoughts on this book!
