A Note From the Author

Hi! Thanks for tuning in! I wanted to share some updates on my journey as an author and Bliss Creek, my first novel.  This book has been a long time in the making – in that I finished it and threw it in a corner to collect dust for a decade!  (gasp)  When my youngest left for college I decided it was time to pick it up and dust it off and see what might become of it.  The publishing process has been a huge learning experience and has taken about nine months, which is appropriate because it felt like giving birth.  I went the independent route as I did not find an agent and so here we are, nine months later with our first book baby!  I am still learning and exploring ways to get my book into reader’s hands.  I have joined the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) and when doing so was able to enter my book into a contest for “late bloomers”.   I hope to attend the Texas Library Association Conference next year with the SCBWI.  This year, Debi Burrows and Penguin Suits have registered me for the Austin Book Fair in the fall.  I have no idea what to expect!  I will be going on a podcast/radio 10 city book tour beginning in April and will keep you posted on how you can listen in. (Thank you Juliet Clark!)  That’s all for now!  Until next time, happy reading! – Amber
