Angee was born in Houston, Texas in 1977, to an interesting family. Her mother and father separated when she was young. She lived with her mother who later remarried a wonderful man, who had a huge impact on her as she grew up. Angee has always had a love of reading, mostly paranormal. As a child, she would sneak up at late night when her mom thought she was sleeping, to read. They moved around a lot, eventually settling in Deep East Texas. Angee married at a young age and eventually divorced. She has raised her now 16 year old son alone. Angee works full time as a pre-hospital nurse and sometimes sees things that would make the rest of us have nightmares. On other days, she is blessed to see miracles. These things are what drive her to write.
In 2006, she was diagnosed with a rare disease, shortly after that she was told she would be on full disability in five years and most likely to be dead in ten. She’s fought to live a normal life every day since and is beating those odds. She works at a demanding job, is a single mom, cares for an elderly mother, and two dogs.
Angee describes her job as- “I fight to save people’s lives. Sometimes I lose, sometimes I win. It's the emotional roller coaster of that job, which leads me to writing. I'm able to put those emotions into my characters and let them out of my heart and soul.”

So just so you all know, I hate having open topics to write about for blogs. I was given this one a few minutes ago and other than the book I’m currently working on, only two things come to mind to write about. One, is why I hate winter and the second is why I write. So I chose to tell you all why I hate winter.
It is actually several reasons but many of them overlap. First on the list is, when you get cold it’s hard to get warm. I can always shed clothes or jump in water somewhere to cool off or even drink something really cold. But when I get cold it takes hours to warm up.
Second, I have to work outside in the elements and I’d rather sweat any day then shiver. The sweat helps to cool me off anyway. Third, I love being outside, even though I can’t spend a lot of time outside without risking being put in the hospital. Even though I apply SPF 100 all the time.
Fourth, with my illness, cold weather makes me hurt so much more. Fifth, where I live in Texas winter usually means lots of rain and I hate driving in the rain. I hydroplaned once years ago and that fear shows its face when I have to drive in the rain.
To sum all it up I don’t like cold, wet weather because it’s not warm and dry. LOL, that’s why I live in Texas where we usually only have winter for a few weeks other than that we have hot, hotter and hotter than hell weather most of the time.
Hope I made you smile at least once.
Angee
