Amber Hoyem writes literary historical fiction rooted in early American history. She blends archival research with character‑driven storytelling to bring emotional depth to overlooked corners of the past. She is the author of Strawberry Moon.

A former secondary educator, Amber’s curiosity about her ancestry led her deep into early American archives, where she found the fragments that inspired Strawberry Moon.

Originally from Southern California, Amber now lives in Oklahoma with her husband, two sons, and their fluffy puppy, Brooke. When she isn’t writing, she can usually be found at a BMX track, cheering on her youngest, who behaves as if gravity is someone else’s problem.
