Amber Mitchell, Author of WAR OF THE WILTED (Garden of Thorns #2), Talks About Books and Writing (with a giveaway!)

Published by beckymmoe on 10/04/2018

Welcome, Amber! What 5 things should readers know about you? I write fight scenes and kiss scenes almost the same way. They are both about action and feelings and high stakes so I approach them with a similar mindset! When I’m not writing, I make 3D papercut shadowboxes and travel to different comic conventions to sell them. I love nerd culture and participating in conventions is such a wonderful way to foster that. I talk about Scotland… a lot.

Published by beckymmoe on 05/16/2018

Ten things I wish someone had told me about being an author… 10) There are times you will be a slave to word count. Especially if you are unendingly wordy like I am!

It’s a balancing act and something all authors who have kids need to work around. I started writing when my middle son was only twelve months old. At that time I didn’t have any aspirations of becoming published, in fact, I didn’t even know editors required a certain word count, document format or anything. I really started out blind. And then having small kids in tow,…
