Friends, pie, drawbridges, books and one happy author

Events, , ,

This weekend I celebrated the release of my debut novel THE WAY BACK FROM BROKEN at two amazing bookstores: Secret Garden Books in Seattle and A Children’s Place in Portland. It was surreal, humbling, exhilarating, exhausting, and wonderful. It is also a story best told in pictures.

There was a secret reunion of the Mudflat Heathens. I am forbidden from revealing more.

  2. Amber you never cease to amaze and inspire me. So happy and proud for you. Miss your face around here…xoxo

  3. Best. Pie. Ever. So fun to be along for the ride, Amber. You ROCKED your book launches like the Pointer Sisters rock an early 80s dance party (and bath tub). And mum’s the word on the Heathens. But THEY WILL RISE AGAIN.
