Introduction
I am Finn Ambers, indie published sci-fi thriller author, indie music artist, performer, producer and publisher
Independently published my first novel in 2016 in eBook and print – and then un-published it a few years later! There are plenty of pitfalls in the self-pub industry, and I have learned much!
Composed, produced and published my debut single A Part Of Me in 2021. Independently. I love being indie. And while I continue to build my indie creative business, I’m looking to offer my experiences and skills to other indie creatives as a service. I’ve learned a great deal, have loads of skills and have made many friends along the way
