Samantha is a writer and editor in San Francisco. Her anthology, The Bigger the Better, the Tighter the Sweater was an SF Chronicle bestseller. Ms. Schoech’s (pronounced “Shay”) claims to fame include starring in a TV commercial for the San Francisco Giants and voicing characters like “Stevie the Stoolie” in Mark Fiore’s political animations. She lives near the Pacific Ocean with her husband and their 6-year-old twins, Magnolia and Oliver. She wishes her tag line could be "Raising twins. Raising chickens. And raising Cain." But really it's just twins and chickens. Her Twitter handle is unoriginal, but functional: @SamanthaSchoech
