I am Amber May

Written as part of a scholarship to Faber Academy Writing a Novel course, 'I am Amber May' is a psychological thriller with a difference. It's written from the point of view of a vulnerable young woman struggling to free herself from the trappings of a toxic relationship. When agoraphobic Amber finally leaves the house to save a man she has a crush on, he saves her from her claustrophobic existence. But when they escape to the coast she discovers a new and more deadly trap awaits.
