Author Amber M. Kestner

I've heard of many Authors say that they feel the pressure of deadlines or getting that story out before readers forget about it. I don't have that issue since I don't really release books in a hurry or at least I didn't until recently. I've talked about Lesbian C afé since December of last year and all the quirks that I'm doing differently. I'm adding one or two sex scenes for those curious. I decided to go Mature content with this one. It is also friendship to lovers type, I'm not sure how else to describe it. Anyways, as of let's say last Wednesday my best friend in Pennsylvania messaged me the book about us which is Lesbian C afé, now mind you I haven't worked on it since April 21st, 2025 while working on another project for an Anthology. Surprisingly, as soon as she mentioned about it I had jumped back on the band wagon and slowly started writing it again. Now you are wondering where the pressure comes in? I got high demand on Lesbian C afé ...

I've thrived so hard to get my name out there and to be noticed. To get the bullying to stop. After years of constantly releasing stories, it took me a moment to realize that I don't have to release every year to prove a point anymore or to show anyone that I can write stories. I can relax and release on my own terms but I still thrive and  push myself beyond limits to release stories each year with fellow Authors to be in their shoes. But I do also realize it is a response now that I live with because of all the hate that I got towards me personally that has affected my career. And it wasn't a gentle hate either, it was literally bullying to where I threatened to quit more than enough times. I got told to quit writing and publishing that I wasn't good enough. Added to that they would tear down my looks too, I admit, I am not the prettiest looking woman out there I have major faults but as many has told me I didn't deserve the way I was treated early in my career wh...

This is a post that I rather not make and should be writing on my books that readers are waiting on. It seems people are wanting to be in us Authors faces for either using AI or going against it. I went above and beyond to making my books Audible all 27 of them for readers. That is a lot of books, trust me, if Authors with over 100, 200, 300, and more books that would take weeks or maybe months to get that many on Audible not unless they were able to get ahead of the game. Now, back on topic I have used ChatGPT for book descriptions and to help me with writing a chapter to get a story going. Is it wrong? Maybe. I do believe in writing for yourself and making everything your own. With my health getting worse including brain fog, anxiety, depression, and tons of pain, I've needed some help more so than I did in my early twenties. With losing my abilities for anything has become much more and depending on AI for a few things in my career. Is it crime? Another maybe.  I have accepted s...

Hello All! My goodness it has been a long while since I have posted here. Let's begin with the fact that one Anthology did get cancelled this year that was Hayrides & Bonfires with W.A. Ashes, she wants to focus more on getting books out and carrying on with less stress which I don't blame her. I'm now working with her and possibly a few other Authors for another Anthology called True Colors it is LGBTQIA+ related stories mine is called Sweet Summers with a double coming out. I won't spoil it cause it is supposed to be Published Late June with this Anthology and deadline is closing in. Butterflies and Lesbian Café are still in the works. Butterflies I am hoping to have finished after I am done with Sweet Summers. Projectability date is in the Summer, it was supposed to be Spring but life got hectic with now Homeschooling my teenager instead of Public School and I jumped into the Anthology for True Colors mid to late February.  For those that have been following on m...

ATTENTION: I will be doing a Podcast with Patrick Greenwood on February 22nd, 2025. My first ever Podcast and to share about ALL my books. Be sure to subscribe and mark your calendars. https://www.youtube.com/@writersonwritersoveratriple  

Last blog post for January of 2025. Hard to believe tomorrow is the last day of the month. This decision is my own. I'm staying with my own genre which is Lesbian Romance and keeping my Author name. I'm staying as Author Amber M. Kestner, no pens, no run around in circles or anything else. I'm an Author with a lot of books to my name and have made a name for myself. I've built my world of stories in my own way with some tropes but that isn't my thing. As I listened to Jason Blayne's Podcast today and hearing his advice for Writers and Aspiring Authors, it made me realize that no matter how old my books are, no matter how new my books are, I will find an Audience and rebuild myself. I have newer books lined up for coming into 2025 and going beyond.  I'm staying. I'm going to keep working and improving myself along the way. Also all my Lesbian Romance going forward will be whatever they want to be whether Mature or Clean, I can do both while still keeping ...
