About Me and my blog
- Angela Brown
- I am a lover of books - from classics to steampunk and everything in between. Plus, I'm in pursuit of making my full-time passion more than a part-time gig. This blog is to share about all things reading, writing, movies, TV shows, publication - I think you get the drift. I'll even share the ups and downs of my own journey. If you don't like any of these things, I appreciate your visit, but sadly say you've come to the wrong spot. If just one of these topics tickle your fancy, then please pull up a chair (be a follower of my blog), talk to me and others here (leave a comment) and know that you are always welcome.

Get to Know Indigo Eady
Hey everyone :-)
Thanks to all who visited and shared their thoughts on my IWSG post yesterday. It was nice getting various perspectives on the issue and enlightened me to a few things as well.
Today, I'd like to invite you all over to meet Indigo Eady of Gwen's GIVIN' UP THE GHOST. She's visiting at Partners in ParanormYA.
Hope to see you there.
