On January 2nd 2025, I officially became the author, Amber Raven. I celebrated with family and friends with a cottage witch-themed (not Halloween) party.
I created table decorations using herbs and greenery, and the small hall was filled with fake candles and looked so pretty. I was interviewed by David Evans, a writing buddy of over ten years, as a last-minute feature to the evening.
I played my Amber Raven Novel playlist in the background, and the atmosphere was incredible. I sold out of books, too!
I’m looking forward to signing books in Norfolk on the 25th of January, 11 am – 1 pm, at The Diss Publishing Bookshop. A scene in the book is one which happened in real life. I took my mum out for a trip to Diss, and she peered through the pretty window, and a member of staff inside peered back, making us both laugh. So, I had my character, Myrtle, do the same as a tribute to the day. I lost my mum soon after.
In the acknowledgments, I mention The Elementals Magickal Emporium. The shop is a dream for someone like me and is based in Wymondham. After my first visit to the town, meeting Samantha, the shop owner, and then visiting the museum, I just knew I wanted to set the next novel there, so I am going to take another trip to the town. It is pretty and inspirational. So, I am making plans and will be chatting with my publisher very soon.
