About the Author

Photographed by Anette Abernathy

Hello! I’m Amber Skye Forbes, a novelist and poet. My first book is When Stars Die and is part of The Stars Trilogy. My first two poems published simultaneously in Sleeve are “Girls Must Be Dolls,” and “Curse,” both of which have been pulled from my collection currently titled Pretty Girl, Unravel Me. I’m currently 29 years old. At 19, my first short story, “Dead Poet’s Pendulum,” was published in The Oddville Press, a magazine that unfortunately folded. However, it can still be read here in Google’s lovely archives. I also had two parts published in Sorean: A Gothic Magazine, titled “Victoria’s Asylum of Maggots” in issues 4 and 5. I am also the founder of The Corner Club Press. 

Being an author isn’t solely what I do. I am a personal trainer and have been so for about 4.5 years. I am also a doctor of physical therapy student.

I love to read young adult novels, binge on anime and manga, learn everything I can about nutrition and fitness, chill with my husband, mountain bike, dream about where I’ll live, and drink copious amounts of tea. In fact, everything I do is always with “a dash of tea.”

You can find out more about my life by following me on Twitter.

I hope you all enjoy what you find on my website! I try to blog often to keep things fresh.

This was my favorite role in my dance school’s recital: Wind. My fiancé took this picture. This is me sitting on the thrones of Lucy, Peter, Edmund, and Susan.
