Sam Watkins (born May 11, 1984) is an American epic fantasy writer who publishes fiction as Sam Sykes.
His debut trilogy of novels, the Aeons' Gate series, was appreciated by critics for its characterization and dialogue, and for its deconstruction of standard fantasy tropes, but criticized for its meandering, derivative plot.
He is the son of Diana Gabaldon, author of the Outlander series.
