Angeline M. Bishop's Blog

Hi everyone,
 
I hope you missed me because I missed all of you. I’ve achieved so many wonderful things since the last time I’ve posted a blog post. I’m still working at Rutgers University, teaching as an adjunct professor of English at Middlesex College, and writing stories that highlight our community. I can happily report that Resa (my daughter) and I have agreed to bring back our podcast, but in a different format. We’ll turn our focus to our faith by launching a faith-based podcast called  Wi...

I've invested in my education, so student loan debt is something I know about personally. I'm not sure if the American government will ever tackle the problems within the student loan industry but I've officially had enough. There's no way I'm going to let another moment go by without figuring out a way to erase my student loan debt. It's a burden that I don't want to get comfortable having in my life anymore. Everyone I know accepts educational debts as a "normal" thing but that's because w...

I've decided to take the end of month of my birth to re-set my literary path and recommit to sharing the inner workings of the Jacmuir development process. That's right, I've returned to my part of cyberspace to share what's behind the velvet rope. I'll miss hearing my sister's input on this part of my writing journey but I welcome Young Adult/New Adult readers that wish to voice their opinions on my stories. I'll also give my website a much needed update in the next couple week. Spring brea...

I love working on the Jacmuir Series because I realize now, more than ever, that I adore writing multicultural New Adult bildungsroman fiction. There's something about constructing maturation plots that give me a great sense of satisfaction. I know writers are free to write about whatever topic they want but there is something intricately satisfying about writing novels where a protagonist's inner transformation and the lessons they learn make up the strongest parts of the story.

The writing...

Have you ever had a moment when you met someone utterly amazing? The time you spent talking with them made you yearn to close the distance between you. It’s truly an incredible feeling and when you discover she’s single, there’s nothing you wouldn’t do make a date with her happen. That’s until you learn something you didn’t want to hear… that she’s the ex of one of your closest friends.

This isn’t a clear case of ‘ignore your feelings and cast her aside because there are plenty other women...
