Amber Newberry was born in Acworth, Georgia but later migrated to New England. She spent her teen years in El Dorado Springs, Missouri with her father and siblings, where she attended El Dorado Springs High and wrote for the school newspaper. Having grown up in a very musical family, she began writing music at an early age, which eventually developed into a love for poetry, and later for literature. Inspired by her favorite author, Victoria Holt, she wrote and published her first novel in 2012, a gothic historical called "Walls of Ash". With a flare for the macabre, Amber has made her home in Salem, MA with her very own bard and their three cats.
