Book Signings & Speaking Events
Join me at upcoming events to talk about transition, mental health, and trans joy. I’d love to meet you.
Book Signing - Bodystain Tattoo and Piercing
Most of My Life in Transition – Becoming a Phoenix takes place in Columbus, Ohio, so I’m especially excited to return for my first Columbus book signing. Fittingly, it will be at one of my happy places that’s woven throughout my story.
Â
Bodystain Tattoo and Piercing has graciously opened their shop for this event. You’ll have the chance to meet the amazing artist behind my full-body rose tattoo, Shawn Phay, who will be on hand offering flash rose tattoos.
Â
Imagine coming for a signed copy of my book and leaving with one of my roses as a permanent reminder that you’re part of my story. I’ll be adding to my roses the day before the signing, and those who attend may get a sneak preview of the newest addition to my growing vine.Save the date, bring a friend, and come be part of this chapter with
me.
​
Anyone buying a flash and signed book will be entered in a drawing to win my Memoirabilia Bag containing Memoirabilia.

Book Signing - Slammers
I am so honored and proud to be doing a book signing at one of my happiest of places, Slammers Bar, Columbus, OH. Slammers is woven throughout My Life in Transition - Becoming a Phoenix.
Â
Many of my chosen family, who I love so much, grew out of Slammers. Not only does Slammers have the best pizza in Columbus, their staff and patrons are some of the best people in the world.
Â
It seems fitting to be doing a book signing in collaboration with Madi's Big Queer Book Club. Every time someone complimented me to Madi her response was "that's our Amber, she is all that and more".
Â
Come hear me read one of my favorite parts to my story, which of course involves Madi. Buy a signed copy of my book plus spend $25 in food & drink and you could be the winner of an AF Rose canvas bag of swag. I would love to see my Slammers family turn out for this homecoming,
Â
While there enjoy a dirty Amber (spicy just like me and be part of the story that has yet to be written. At Slammers "All Walks One Groove" isn't just a sign on the wall; it is their heart and soul.
Â
         If you are there it will be an epic night!!!
