edit data

Amber (Schamel) Lemus inspires hearts through enthralling tales. She has a passion for history, books and her Savior. This combination results in what her readers call "historical fiction at its finest". A homeschool graduate from a family of 12 children, Amber found her calling early in life. First published at age 21, she has continued to hone her craft and has been awarded the Christian Indie Award in Historical Fiction twice. She lives near the Ozarks in her "casita" with her prince charming. Between enjoying life as a boy mom, and spinning stories out of soap bubbles, Amber loves to connect with readers and hang out on Goodreads with other bookish peoples. Amber is an active member of American Christian Fiction Writers.

Hi Susan! I understand what you mean! My TBR pile is huge too, though I think you may have me beat! LOL.
I'll be getting your autographed copy in the mail to you ASAP. :) Congrats again!

Man! I am overwhelmed by the fact that I won your book! I just looked up your website when I got a thank you from here for adding you as a friend. I am so sorry that I did not get back to you on that, but things are very overwhelming here right now. I too am grateful to meet another homeschooler. And again, thank you for choosing me as a book winner! I not like, LOVE to read Christian books! I will really try to write a review! I was telling another author this morning that I have 4,000 books in my to-be-read pile, and it is impossible for me to even sort them out anymore. In fact, some of them are still in the boxes and packages they were shipped in!
