A Little About Angela

Originally from Massachusetts, Angela lived in Washington, D.C. for nine years earning two master’s degrees in Communications, Culture, & Technology (from Georgetown University) as well as Media, Technology, & Democracy (from American University). Currently, she is working on her PhD; her dissertation is on the romance genre fandom in the digital age. When not fangirling over romances, you can find her sleuthing with YouTube’s first Cozy Mystery Book Club. Right now, she’s either throwing a stuffed animal for her teacup Maltese, Daisy, or working on something new to celebrate her love of literature. Sometimes she’s doing both at the same time. There’s also probably a caffeinated drink nearby.
