Amra found her poetical voice when she wrote this book. Amranese, her first poetry book published in 2011, was a concise form of four words that delved deep into rhetoric. In, Octaves of Sammy, she opens the depths of the reader's emotions by writing a poetic love story. Amra found a passion for writing poetry as a child in Montana, where surrounded by nature's beauty, she easily became inspired to explore her mind with written words. Although she resides in Las Vegas, Nevada, she still calls Montana her home. The loving mother of two sons and a daughter-in-law, Amra's greatest joy comes from being with her family.
