I am very excited to introduce our guest author this week…Mrs. Amber Lynn Perry! What an honor that Ms. Amber was gracious enough to do an interview for The Reading Daisy. Not only does she lead a busy life of writing, editing, promoting, and being a wife and homeschooling mom she is also due to have a brand new baby girl just any time. I think we should call her Super Woman from now on! Ms. Amber makes her home in Washington State.

Let’s begin the interview.

TRD: If you could read only one fiction book for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Ms. Amber: Such a great question! And I’m glad you specified “fiction” because that makes the process of deciding a tad easier, lol! I love nonfiction books so much as well. I would have to say my go-to fiction book–the book I could read over and over again is Captain From Castile. Written in the 1940’s, this epic historical romance has everything I ever want in a story.

TRD: Your books are set in the 18th Century, around the Revolutionary War. If you could choose anything from one of your character’s closet, shoe box, or jewelry box, what would it be?

Ms. Amber: Oh my goodness! How can I choose?! Well, if I were going to pick anything that I might wear on a regular basis–I might pick either the hats or the shoes. They are so beautiful and remarkably comfortable, not to mention versatile. They can be dressed up or down which is always a bonus ;). Plus, they just add that perfect statement to any outfit.

TRD: What is your least favorite part of getting a book from research to sitting on a shelf?

Ms. Amber: There are a lot of difficult/painful things about any art/craft, but I believe that editing is my least favorite. It can be long and tedious, and sometimes I know there’s a problem or hole in the story, but I don’t know how to fix it! I will admit I have shed many a tear through the editing process, but it’s so worth it. Editing is a necessary part of the art of writing and I’m learning to deal with it better the more I write. LOL!

TRD: What is your favorite part of that same process?

Ms. Amber: I absolutely LOVE bringing the characters to life. It is always such a thrilling experience to have what lives in my head finally be put into words. I have had stories living in my heart and mind for years and seeing them finally have their own full story out in the world for others to enjoy is positively wonderful.

I want to thank Ms. Amber for being with us today. I am one of her biggest fans! She brings her characters to life in an amazing way. I always say I fall into her books and don’t want to climb back out even when I reach the end. If you are a fan of historical fiction you MUST add Amber Lynn Perry’s books to your to be read list/pile. When I was listing all of this author’s titles I forgot to mention that she not only writes to-die-for books, she is also the model on each of her book’s covers! Yep, she is definitely a Super Woman!

Besides many others, Amber Lynn Perry has released a novel and novella into the Christian fiction world in the last seven months! Check them out!
