About Amber

I spent five years working as a Young Adult Librarian, split up between two different libraries. During parts of that same time period, I was also the official NaNoWribrarian, working closely with the Young Writer's Program portion of NaNoWriMo. Before that, I worked everywhere from Kinkos to the Waffle House. Now, I've achieved the circumstances to work full-time on my writing.

I decided to be a writer when I was in the fourth grade. I joined my first professional writer's group when I was twelve. There were only two teenagers in the whole group. I have been writing ever since. I got my undergrad degree in English with a creative writing emphasis, and wound up with a certificate in storytelling to go along with my library science degree.

I have two cats, two birds and a wonderfully supportive husband.
