Biography

When not working at her day job, Amber can usually be found tapping the keys of her sticker-covered laptop, crafting her latest bewitching story. As one of the founders of The Scribblers' Society, an elite group of editors and published authors, sheês usually eyebrow deep in an editing or writing project. She has been often contracted by Wattpad to judge one of their many writing contests.

She blames her degree in psychology for her evil, twisted plot lines that torment readers into binge reading her tales long into the wee hours in the morning. Her award-winning, spellfully delicious tale, Howling at the Moon, is published on Amazon, and her short story –Lifeês Nectar” and co-written story –Forevermore” can be found in the Amazon number-one, best-selling book, Above and Beneathãthe world of angels and demons.

Surviving off coffee and little sleep, Amber is a proud member of the M_tis Nation of Alberta and lives in Cochrane, Alberta with her husband, two kids, and infamous dust bunny. She claims the more she writes, the less housework gets done and the bigger the bunny gets. Our best guess is that she and her family are doomed to be taken over by the dust ballãbecause she isnêt putting the keyboard down anytime soon.

Her spellfully delicious tales of witchcraft, elemental magic and necromancy can be found on Amazon and Kobo.
