loved the illustrations. I would pick that book out every time, so my teacher finally removed it from the shelf to force me to expand my horizons. Now I have my own copy.
Another book that influenced me very early on was Richard Scarry's Busy, Busy World. It told a story of two creative painters who painted a mural of a large sun inside someone's house. I thought the idea was genius, so I drew a large sunshine on my wall with crayon. It was scrubbed off, but I continued to have a desire to express myself artistically.
In middle school, I enjoyed writing, and my English teacher told me I would write a book someday. I loved to read, sometimes reading late into the night. When I was not reading, I was making up stories in my head for my own amusement, but I never wrote them down. I was more interested in drawing and painting than writing. I have since painted numerous works of art, including some very large outdoor murals. You can see some of them if you do an internet search of Paint by Amber.
Over the years, I have had a lot of trouble with insomnia. I had heard that if you write down your ideas, it will help you to be able to go to sleep. That didn't help, but I did end up writing some complete novels. Recently, I was diagnosed with narcolepsy, and understanding my sleep patterns, along with scheduling at least one nap during the day, has greatly improved my quality of life. The line between dreaming and wakefulness for me is sometimes blurred, and some of my ideas come straight from my dreams. Others are worked out while I'm lying in bed unable to sleep. It was fun to type them out, and I am planning to continue writing. My goal as an author is to write the type of books that I would like to read. My favorite genre is fantasy fiction, and I read and write books that tackle difficult issues but resolve themselves into a happy ending. I hope you enjoy my stories and characters as much as I do. If you search my name and the word 'author,' you should be able to find my social media site. I look forward to hearing from you!

The Junk Drawer Adventures
|
You never know what you'll find in Aunt Mysti's junk drawer.
I've always wanted a pet, but since my parents are deployed and I live with my Aunt Mysti, I've had to make do with walking the neighbor's dog. When a stray cat starts living in our garage, I try to earn its trust. Skittish and easily scared, the cat proves hard to win over.
I take care of the cat as best I can, but with the frisbee golf tournament happening at school this week, I have to stay focused. My friend Payton and I have been practicing for weeks. We plan to win it all. However, a magic pair of earbuds from my aunt's junk drawer gives me a peek into the cat's mind, and I'm forced to make a choice that could ruin everything.
Put yourself in the role of protagonist and follow "I" on this relatable, entertaining journey to empathy. Perfect for fans of Edward Eager.
Content to consider: A deployed parent misses a scheduled video call. References to cat litter and cleaning up after pets. Mild feline peril. A character leaves a designated area without permission.
