Amber Brock

https://www.amberbrock.net/

Amber Brock is the author of Lady Be Good, a work of historical/women's/literary fiction that follows on the heels of her critically acclaimed, debut novel, A Fine Imitation. Brock is a history aficionado, taking every opportunity to travel abroad and take in history and art museums. Brock teaches British literature and creative writing at the Atlanta Girls School. Being part of this all-girl community has made single-gender education one of Brock’s passions. She considers "her girls" every time she sits down to write, and thoughts of them shape the outcome of her work. She would like to write books that both explore their what challenges and inspires them. Brock received her undergraduate degree from Furman University and a master's from the University of Georgia. She lives in Smyrna with her husband, also an English teacher, and their three rescue dogs.
