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 published my debut book, Dismantle, in 2024.
Typically writing at the intersection of memoir and humor, I am currently working on several manuscripts which include a romance/murder mystery, crime, science fiction, and a Star Trek parody.
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!
