Sam Anderson

Sam Anderson is a college lecturer and retained firefighter from the Scottish Borders who never imagined he’d one day write a book about perimenopause — yet here we are.
After realising he understood absolutely none of what his partner was going through (but very much wanted to), Sam threw himself into learning everything he could. That curiosity quickly turned into a mission: to help other partners avoid the cluelessness, confusion, and “oh sh*t, I shouldn’t have said that” moments he faced.
As a lecturer, Sam went a step further and trained as a Menopause Champion to support colleagues at his work, proving that sometimes the best education comes from simply giving a damn.
When he’s not writing about hormones and relationship survival, Sam can be found playing golf, keeping fit, drinking more coffee than is medically advisable, and enjoying whisky and beer — not necessarily in that order.
This book is his way of saying:
“If I can learn this stuff, so can you. Now stop guessing and start supporting.”
