About the author:
Angela Orlowski-Peart was born and raised in Poland. She describes herself as European born, American by choice. She was just seven-years-old when she decided to learn English and translate her favorite Polish fairytales. 

Angela is the author of the Young Adult and New Adult fiction novels, including YA paranormal/urban fantasy series, The Forged. First book in series, Forged by Greed, was published on September 20, 2012. There are two anthologies of short stories, serving as the prequels to the series. First of them, Forged by Magic. Origins is scheduled for publishing on May 31st, 2013. The second anthology (still untitled) will be out at the end of June 2013. Next three full size novels, including Forged by Coalescence, will be released in 2013 and 2014.

Angela writes in multiple genres, including paranormal, fantasy, urban fiction, sci-fi, and short stories. She loves reading good books almost as much as writing them. She speaks with Polish accent, but loves listening to the Southern drawl. 

She is passionate about watercolor painting, fashion—especially stilettos, rock climbing, environment, and organic food and gardening. She lives in the Seattle area with her family and a chronically curious cat.

Still Breathing...

Sometimes I wonder if it's just barely.

Just wanted to send a shout out to the bloggy world, <<HUGS>> to my bloggy buddies and a big MUAH! to readers and friends. I haven't been blogging, though I have shared a thing or two as promised to those before I hopped on this bit of bloggy-break.

Progress?

 - A novella with an editor
 - Still working through TAFD first draft
 - Reviewing edits of another MS that I hope to begin editing next month
 - Going through mind-thoughts for the next NEO Chronicles: Characters Revealed novella. They'll be on post it notes stuck around my computer soon lol!!

Funny/Cute: My Chipmunk asked me if I would consider writing a Picture Book. I have NO illustrating skills so the drawing part is out. It will take some serious effort to go from dark, YA/NA, semi-sexy or sorta-hot to PB quaint and adorable. But for her, I am going to give it a try. So that will be added to my plate pretty soon.

What's been happening in your neck of the woods?
