Samuel Reynolds

Samuel M. Reynolds was born in Mesa, Arizona in 1998. He lived in the nearby city of Chandler during his younger years. After graduating from Heritage Academy in 2017, Samuel served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the lower suburbs of Seattle, Washington until the Spring of 2019.

Since then, he has been pursuing his Bachelor's Degree in Computer Engineering from Brigham Young University. In May of 2021, Samuel married his sweet bride, Mikayla, in the Gilbert Arizona Temple. They now live in Provo, Utah. Samuel has been an author since age 15.

When he is not writing new stories, Samuel loves to play the piano, trombone, some guitar, and sing. He also enjoys tackle football, frisbee golf, bowling, and ballroom dancing. He cannot seem to get enough of any new Marvel or Star Wars release on Disney+.

Samuel dreamt of writing books since the summer of 2010. In November of 2014, he won the NaNoWriMo contest and published his first book with CreateSpace one month later, titled Dino-Hunters Part One. Five months later, in May of 2015, he released the sequel, Dino-Hunters Part Two: Armageddon. In May of 2017, he announced his third novel, The Best Six Years: Lessons Learned from a Heritage Academy Scholar, a personal memoir he dedicated to the wonderful memories of attending Heritage Academy in Mesa from 2011-2017.

Before leaving on his mission in the summer of 2017, Samuel assembled and unveiled Dino-Hunters: Ultimate Edition, a combination of Parts One and Two of the franchise and a special inclusion of the first few chapters of the third installment, teasing what was to come. Upon returning home from his mission, he assembled his weekly writings into his fifth book, Vineyard Among the Evergreens: How Serving the Lord in Washington Changed My Life, in April 2020.

His sixth book (and final chapter of "The Long Lost Secrets" Series) is currently in production.

Dino-Hunters Part Three: Deadlock and the conclusive version of Dino-Hunters: Ultimate Edition will be released in 2025.
