Amber dabbled with words for years and dreamed of writing a story that had been in her head since her teens. In 2021 she finally sat down to get it out of her system. It was intended to be something fun for her kids to read someday, but evolved into her coming-of-age kingdom fantasy, Until the Rising. After that, there was no stopping her. Now characters and stories flood Amber’s mind, and she tries to capture them as best as she can. Rather than be put in a box, Amber enjoys exploring different genres and writing styles. Her short stories and poetry can be found in various anthologies. More books are simmering on the stove, waiting to be served one day. Amber lives in the Texas Hill Country.
