About this author

Amber Kizer is not one of those authors who wrote complete books at the age of three and always knew she wanted to be a writer. When she faced a rare chronic pain disorder her freshman year of college, she knew she was going to have to learn to live outside the box. After one writing workshop, she fell in love with telling stores and she’s still going strong. Her characters tend to be opinionated, outspoken, and stubborn—she has no idea where that comes from.

Brilliant, beautiful and unique. The story is complex and the style of sharing that story both interesting and very personal. Couldn't put it down but didn't want to rush it either. I have not seen the screen adaptation and am not sure I want to--the...more

This is the first western werewolf book I've read and I picked it up because I like the author--I wasn't sure how the two ideas would mesh. Have to say I enjoyed it--the best parts of kick ass frontier women mixed with a little paranormal--seamless m...more

I was intrigued by this idea and the character's voice drew me in. I have to say it took longer than I usually give a book for me to really get hooked and not be able to put it down. But I kept going thinking perhaps that the voice was keeping me at...more

“Everything changes. Everything is temporary, except for the sky. When you find yourself caught up in the horrors or heroes of a lifetime, look up. Don't look down. That which is beneath our feet is liquid, but the sky, the sky is solid, constant, ever ready and ever hopeful that the sun will rise in the morning and the moon will rise at night. They don't really set, you know. They're always rising, just rising for someone else.”
Amber Kizer, Meridian

“Love is the greatest act of faith.”
Amber Kizer, Meridian

“What good is a quilt if it's unused? The same as a life unused. They're meant to be wrung out and frayed around the edges. That's the way of things. Always has been. Always will be. ”
Amber Kizer, Meridian

“Truly, life is wasted on the living, Nobody Owens. For one of us is too foolish to live, and it is not I.”
Neil Gaiman, The Graveyard Book

“My first, and most lasting, addiction has always been to the obsessive study of any matter that took hold of my curiosity.”
Andrew Davidson

“Footnote: In 1998, a woman in Saline, Michigan received a patent for a Decorative Penile Wrap...The patent included three pages of drawings, including a penis wearing a ghost outfit, another in the robes of the Grim Reaper, and one dressed up to look like a snowman. ”
Mary Roach, Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex

“The paper does not provide the exact number of penises eaten by ducks, but the author says there have been enough over the years to prompt the coining of a popular saying: 'I better get home or the ducks will have something to eat.”
Mary Roach, Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex

“Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working.”
Pablo Picasso
