My name is Samantha Norin I am an amateur writer, with a bachelor’s degree in Library and information science . Besides my LiS research, have I also studied popular culture and media analysis. This website currently functions as a hub for my various projects and ideas.
Here you will find everything from D&D modules to deep dives into the underlying themes of famous shows and book series. Under the tab essays can you find a collection of all the essays and analytical texts I have written on specific topics.
Under publications can you find everything I have written that is not available on the website, and lastly do I have a specific area where I put all my short form fiction, not available anywhere else.
