About Sam
My Story
Wish List began with a stuffed Halloween cat named Sebastian and a bedtime story told to two little girls who believed magic was real.
Years later, one of those girls — Meghan — passed away. What was once a story about holiday wishes became something much deeper: a tribute to her spirit, her laughter, and the belief that some wishes really do change everything.
Written with love, and dedicated to Meghan and Jenna, Wish List is the book I needed to write. I hope it becomes the story you needed to read.

Personal Life
Sam L. Siragusa is a writer, filmmaker, and storyteller based in Statesville, North Carolina. With over 25 years in film and television production, he has spent his career turning ideas into experiences that move people.
When he’s not writing, Sam can be found on the open road on his Can-Am Ryker, deep in the pages of anything Green Lantern, or loudly cheering on the Carolina Hurricanes. He is the proud grandfather of eight grandchildren — seven living — who remind him every day why stories about magic, family, and second chances matter.
Wish List began as a bedtime story. It became something much more.
