Hello,
I’m Angie
Residing in the New York metropolitan area, I spend much of my free time writing. I graduated from Seattle University and regularly return to Gotham Writers Workshop to keep my skills sharp.
Typically writing at the intersection of memoir and humor, I am currently refining several manuscripts that fall into the graphic novel, crime, and science fiction categories.
My goal with this blog is to offer readers a five-minute break from the monotony and stress of everyday life. Success for me is making you smile or laugh.
If you enjoy my work, please consider buying me a cup of coffee to fuel my next piece.
Join the fun!
