Amber Skye Forbes
is a novelist and poet. Her first book was When Stars Die and is part of The Stars Trilogy. It was published by AEC Stellar Publishing Inc., in 2013, but is now seeking representation elsewhere. Her first two poems published simultaneously in Sleeve are “Girls Must Be Dolls,” and “Curse,” both of which have been pulled from her collection currently titled Pretty Girl, Unravel Me. She is 24, going on 25–July 12th, 2015. At 19, her 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. She also had two parts published in Sorean: A Gothic Magazine, titled “Victoria’s Asylum of Maggots” in issues 4 and 5. Though incomplete, she will add these to her Pretty Girl collection, while changing the name to Dead Pretty Girl: Alexandria with updated
revisions, as she published these pieces at 19. They will turn into a
novella in this collection. She is also the founder of The Corner Club Press.
Being an author is not solely what she does, although this is becoming a bigger part of her life once again. She has been dancing ballet for almost four years, starting late at the age of 21. She is an avid reader of young adult fiction–and now poetry. She is a marketer for Southern Siding, a job she does plan to keep when she graduates. She also wants to be a make-up artist at a place like Sephora or a department store. Even just working in the make-up section will appease her love for make-up and beauty. She does major in English Literature at Columbia College of Missouri online, which feeds her intellectual needs to grow as a person, which betters her writing skills, helps with her marketing job, and helps her better understand human beings. She loves video games: RPGs, action/adventure, platformers, story-based games, hack-and-slash games, and puzzle games. Her cat, Neko, is like her daughter and writing buddy. Her parents and fiance are her biggest supporters, and she couldn’t ask for better ones. She also cannot forget Mariah Wilson, her best friend to this day, though she has never personally met her. She is her poetry mentor.
