Praise for Amber’s Work

“Amber’s writing is fresh and exciting! It hits right on the pulse of what made for made for must-watch TV in all those beloved nighttime classic soapy dramas that we all know and love and elevates it to an addicting breakneck pace. As I got sent each script for Chatham, at the end of each script, I was like ‘please send me more! I need to know what happens next..’ That’s a gift!”

~Adam Huss, actor, Power and General Hospital

"Casual, irreverent prose-with-attitude is Karlins' strong suit.  She has mastered cadence and knows how to wield a hook--'I'm wearing stolen breast cups' begins her fencing tutorial, and who doesn't want to hear more about that?"
~Kirkus Reviews
