Amber Lanier-Nagle’s PROJECT KEEPSAKE has been acquired by Native Ink Press! Release date February 20, 2014!
Amber Lanier Nagle’s anthology, Project Keepsake, is a collection of short stories told in first-person by both writers and aspiring writers about their treasured keepsakes and mementos. From buckeyes to pocket knives to pound cake pans to rings to fishing lures, each keepsake—and each story—is unique, yet each reveals common attributes that bind us together and celebrate the glorious human experience.
Amber Lanier Nagle is a Georgia girl through and through. In 2006 after working for eighteen years as an engineer, she reinvented herself as a freelance writer specializing in nonfiction articles.
