Short Bio: Amber Lena was born and raised in SoCal in what she fondly refers to as suburban hell. As with many of the nerdy misfits of the world, she was drawn to storytelling from a young age, first as an avid reader and then as a writer. Amber graduated with a BA in English from Pomona College with an emphasis in creative writing. A self-described Italian-American Chicana, she is passionate about embracing cultural diversity. In her free Amber enjoys cosplay, Disney parks, and trivia nights.
