Amber does not have a dog, but she does have two cats: a black one named Kuma and a tan one named Nezumi. Amber used to play catch with Kuma when he was a kitten. Believe it or not, Kuma would run down the hallway after the ball and bring it back to Amber in his mouth, just like Artemis does in Sophie and Spot.Amber lives in Lafayette, Colorado. She has been reading her entire life and writing since she was a young kid. This is her first book.
