Author Amber M. Kestner

This is going to be one tough blog to write though it needs to be out there since not only do people assume I am okay a good chunk of the time and my stories don't cover everything about me, the only book close to who I am is She's My Kind Of Country. Though that book doesn't deep dive into other issues I have faced in life.  What is mental abuse: Mental abuse is the use of threats, verbal insults, and other more subtle tactics to control a person's way of thinking. This form of abuse is especially disturbing because it is tailored to destroy self-esteem and confidence and undermine a personal sense of reality or competence. Many of my ex-boyfriends would use this tactic with me. Can I recall who? Nope, I have dated/relationships with guys that I couldn't name them because of also the fact I got with as many guys as possible to cover trauma and my identity in the past. I have shared a video last night that broke me mentally, I wasn't sure if I wanted to even wri

Exposing our work is beyond the measure of reaching readers. We work endless on end trying to give the best ourselves as Authors to show that we can do it. This is where the world changes once you are with Amazon, you can't be shelved with anyone else once you are with them You can't be partnered with Smashwords, Books-A-Million, Barnes & Noble, Ingram Sparks, and any other Publishing Company willing to sell your books without Amazon on your hind end. I did learn that when I was contributing to both Amazon and Smashwords expanding my horizon. That led to hoping not lose my Kindle Unlimited and Selects program that lets readers borrow books, so I stopped with Smashwords within 2 years even after selling my books for free on there. Now, I have since left them and haven't returned their program for setting up their books became to much of a hassle to deal with.  Now, I have been with Wattpad since it's start practically of 2008 when I finally settled to living in West

 Hello and let's welcome Riverr to this interview. 1. What is your name and genre you write? - Riverr Ravenzwood and I write fantasy.  2. What is the first book you published? - Tug of Fate, book one of the When Stars Align Series.  3. Where did the inspiration for Ziva Bail and the Cosmic Connection come from? - I guess from the deep recesses of my mind? Haha. I mean, it's almost every author's dream, isnt it? 4. What is the biggest book you have written? - The Kazi Chronicles Finale, Fall of Creation. It's a whopping 180k words long.  5. Do you have a favorite character that you have written?

When I started her journey, I had no idea it would turn out to be this way. And I can't say more without giving away spoilers. But, yeah.  6. Girl power exist in Ziva Bai

  (old photo of us) I mentioned back in January that I was missing parts of myself. That is no lie, I am. I am a bisexual that has a heart and soul of a lesbian. Most have known that I have chased Larry a good part of my adult years, I think he said it was six years of our lives where we didn't interact after my mom ran him off. Once I got with him in 2014, I was head over heels and in love with him all over again. We've been together ever since besides in late 2022 to early 2023 where we broke off (we don't count that though). We have been together nearly 11 years as of May 2024, our wedding anniversary is next month of 8 years. I have all our special dates on our bedroom wall. I plan to make a big poster of it, some day. Anyways, the whole reason I am making this blog is to tell you that I made my final decision to be with the love of my life. I am happy, I am so full in love with him, and he fills my wants and needs. We are learning to more express our likes and dislikes

Well, well, well. I shouldn't have been surprised, really. My instincts have been screaming at me for a while. But I happily ignored it. Despite having been trained all my life to pay attention to my feelings and observe my surroundings, the reality of what is actually happening still comes as a shock. And I have a feeling that this is just the tip of the iceberg. As things unravel and I find myself a part of a super-duper secret society, there are way too many dots to connect. Gods? Other worlds? Missing treasure? Only, that treasure isn't a thing. It's a person. A real person. Cue eye roll here. Oh, there is also the thing about finding a missing God who can restore the world to how it was before this shit show started. If that is not enough on my plate, I find myself insanely attracted to my four guys. I mean, friends. I mean house mates, really. But house mates who are friends. Who are not only badass, but also ultra scared of my Dad. And my Dad? He is one of the few pe
