This Top 5 was submitted by Amber Steady of Waterford, Connecticut. About her writing and music she loves Amber said, “I enjoy reading fantasy books and am in the very long process of writing a fantasy book series. I try to listen to music while writing as much as possible. I get a lot of inspiration for scenes from music, especially folk music” and she went on to say, “My favorite atmosphere, as cliche as it sounds, is a cozy coffeeshop with some rain and whatever music the workers have chosen. Her first book will feature two woman, Emy (age 30) and the Bethany (age 55). Amber’s quick synopsis of the story is, “Bethany raised Emy after Emmy's mother was killed. The setting of the story is modern day although there’s no guns, no tanks, or cars or planes. Both women use magic and they go through several transformations through the course of the book. The rest of the series will be based on characters who will appear as the story in book one unfolds.”
