About the Author

Amber Lief is a new author, with Steam-Powered Battle-Barrels being her first published work. Having a background in theatre, storytelling and creative writing have always been some of her greatest passions, alongside animated works and video games. As a transgender woman, stories depicting LGBTQIA+ individuals as well as their lives and struggles sit at the forefront of what she wishes to bring into the world. Hard at work already on the next entry in the Battle-Barrels series, she hopes you’ll come along for the ride, be you queer yourself or a valued ally.
