HELLO.

My name is

amber Moon

It’s great to meet you!

I am a Jill-of-all-Wordsmithing, who straightens picture frames when traveling abroad, makes a list (but forgets it in the car, and has to go back), and doesn’t call tech support if Google can advise. I like ornaments, both in Noir fiction, and on a brochure for a casual fine dining establishment in the heart of a downtown. I am an avid reader, in order to be a better writer, and crave Sedaris to Socrates, but both are just fine in my book.
