About Me:
I've been writing since I was in the womb. Seriously.

I went into journalism to learn the craft. Spent 10 grueling years at newspapers before crossing over to The Dark Side - PR/Marketing. Really enjoyed it. Now, concentrating on freelancing and finding the right F-T job.

I'm a book & television critic for www.PopSyndicate.com and freelance podcaster/blogger.

In fiction, I started off with romance, then romantic suspense and now thrillers. My current project is going fairly well. (Did I just jinx myself for saying that?!?!?!?!) I have the marketing plan worked out for this - just need to get the novel finished. (Sometimes I think I need a Closer. You know, someone to get me to the finish line. I need someone I can trust to bounce ideas off of. Someone who kicks my butt in gear - and I actually listen to them! Oh, and they should be wealthy enough to pay my meager bills so I can practice my craft full-time. Hm... sounds like an unattainable husband...)

I have two very spoiled cats, a very spoiled dog and an imagination that never shuts down.

Visit my personal blog at www.angelawilson.blogspot.com. I'm also on MySpace at www.myspace.com/angelawilson. (That one isn't quite developed to what I want yet, but it's a start.) My Amazon.com page can be found by searching for writerluvscoffee. I also have a blog for writers on writing - www.WickedWordsmith.com.

Odds -n- Ends:
Any author whose books are a constant nail-biter - who write things I can't figure out in the first three pages.

The Bible (Cheesy, yes, but where else can you find greed, murder, lust, adultry, idolatry, crazy sacrifice-your-virgins-for-a-god religions and all things evil AND good in one place?)

So many more, will continue to update.

    Hi, I love dogs myself

    My book RESURRECTION DIVA is just out and there is a dog as part of the story.

    If you'd like a free review copy contact my publisher, LIZ, at zumayabooks@gmail.com - that's if you're interested in reviewing my book or wish to publish a blog.

    Thanks,

    Hi, Angela. Although I write mystery cartoon comedy, I joined a writer's critique group of Romance Writers a little over a year ago. I was surprised that they were open to listening to my material (even the Sci-Fi stuff) and have received some valuable feedback and encouragement. They actually like it, so I know I'm hitting my target market. I noted your comments about your thriller novel you're working on. Having to keep your writing ahead of the group meetings (we meet every two weeks except at Christmas) keeps you motivated. If you haven't joined a group, I'd highly recommend it. And the author in charge has lots of interesting background info she's privy to that I'm not. This is the second group: The first one fizzled, so your first few attempts may not be the right fit. It's kind of fun, too, to talk about the craft of writing with other author's with common interests. Take care. I'm going to check your site out more later. Dawn PS. I read that Thriller Writers make more money than mystery authors.
