Amber Polo has had a lifelong love affair with libraries and dogs. A fascination with lost ancient libraries and curiosity about why werewolves outnumbered dog-shifters in literature inspired The Shapeshifters' Library, her urban fantasy series filled with librarian dog-shifters. The mystical side of Sedona, AZ became the comic paranormal setting for "Hearts in the Vortex." One day a plane flew past her office window and she turned her pen to her own airpark backyard and "Heads in the Clouds" was the result.In addition to her fantasy and Arizona-based romances, Amber uses her talent to relax stressed writers and readers reduce stress. Her book "Relaxing the Writer" offers suggestions and simple exercises. Using her calming voice she's recorded relaxation CDs that help almost anyone relax.Sample her writing and see why Midwest Book Review called her work "quirky" and "profound" (is that profoundly quirky or quirkily profound?) After living in seven states, she happily calls a small town in Arizona home.
