Interview with Alex Rose Decker, Author of The Amber Amulet (Relics of Eadranelle Book 3)

22 Jan 2025

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write The Amber Amulet (Relics of Eadranelle Book 3)?

I started writing the series a few years ago for NaNoWriMo and found a writing prompt that just kind of spoke to me, then the rest of the series just flowed from there. This book in particular stems from my love of scavenger hunts and riddles, so the riddle of The Amber Amulet and the search for it was a really fun story to tell.

If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of The Amber Amulet (Relics of Eadranelle Book 3), what would they be?

Cassie: “Brave” by Sara Bareilles

Shayne: “Human” by Rag’n’Bone Man

Bastian: “The Scientist” by Coldplay

Emelina: “Unstoppable” by Sia

What’s your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?

I usually alternate between Fantasy Romance and Contemporary Romance. I usually write Fantasy Romance, so that’s the same. I get ideas for Contemporary Romance stories sometimes, but I’m not sure I could do the genre justice.

What books are on your TBR pile right now?

A Deal with the Shadow King by Anya J Cosgrove.

What scene in your book was your favorite to write?

Honestly, I think the epilogue was the most fun for me to write. It just put a final punctuation mark on the series, which was a first for me, and I just got to see all my characters happy and their stories complete.

Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)

I listen to movie soundtracks while I write, which I’m not sure is all that quirky, but it helps me get in the mood for writing. I also have what I call my “murder wall” in my room where I tape up pictures, index cards, and sticky notes with ideas for my current project.

Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?

“Keep moving forward” –Walt Disney

If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?

I always say that I want my books to take readers out of their world and give them a chance to forget about their problems or anything bad happening in their life right now. So I just hope my book offers people an escape.
