Amber’s story is horror in
the true form. It goes to show that sometimes we can go too far in our
aspirations, and that we should think before we act. Enjoy the interview with
Amber below.
____________________________________________________________________________
1. What is your favorite
genre to write?
I like to write horror.
It's the genre of consequences from bad choices. Honesty told through the
illusion of a lie.
2. Who is your biggest
supporter as far as writing goes?
It's impossible to think
of just one person. But to narrow it down there is my husband, my siblings, and
everyone in the Cache Chapter of League of Utah Writers.
3. Tell us about your
story in the Scared Spitless anthology.
Everyone is young and
dumb at least once in their lives. They get a little over their heads and
undergo an experience that creates who they become as adults. Fresh Skin is
about a young woman undergoing that time in her life.
4. When did you realize
you wanted to be a writer?
It started when I was a
child and loved being read to. So many stories to read and share, to be part of
that is a fantastic dream I've never woken up from.
5. Do you view your
writing as a career or hobby?
Neither, more of a life.
Like breathing, it's a need more than anything else.
6. What inspired the
story that will be in the Scared Spitless anthology?
A crazy trip I took when
I was 18 to Hollywood California. Someday that story will see the light and be shared
with readers.
7. Have you won any
contests or awards for your writing?
I've received honorable
mentions in the League of Utah Writers.
8. How do you stay
motivated?
I'm a writer, and I might
as well get good at it since I'll be doing it anyway.
9. Do your stories
contain inspiration from real life?
Every story contains a
truth of life, otherwise it's not worth reading or writing -- at least that's
what I believe. There is inspiration everywhere and I soak it up to write it
later.
10. Would you like to
share a bit about your current work in progress?
Effie and Nina,
half-sisters, are inseparable, but then the carnival comes to town. Effie
follows a boy and her life is soon in danger. Nina must save her sister, but
then Death has other plans for the girls.
