Adelaide Halsey

Born in Norfolk in the 1970s, Adelaide has spent a life with Arabian horses, travelling the world though her publication, The Arabian Magazine. Always a prolific writer, Adelaide began writing Sandstorm, the first book in The Arabian Storm Series, while sat in airports and hotel rooms. The resulting book, published in 2020. was well received the world over. 

“Fast paced and racy from the beginning. You are transported to exotic settings around the world and quickly become gripped with each character’s story. The characters are easy to identify. You love them, you hate them, you feel their pain.”

Book two in The Arabian Storm Series is Firestorm, due for release in November 2026. 

Adelaide loves cooking, writing, cuddling her cats, and spending time with family and good friends. She can often be found in a local coffee shop, working on her next projects. 

Adelaide is the pen name for Samantha Mattocks – whose own name stays with her Middle Grade books, The Magical Mister Mishkins and Nero the Hero Series.
