Before writing books, Angela studied English and Film at the University of Otago, taught full-time in schools, owned an art gallery, and reviewed books for trade publishers. She lives in Northland, New Zealand, where she works full-time in the arts and heritage sector.
I know there are mixed feelings about authors' presence on goodreads. I've been a reviewer, and I know it can be surprising to have an author enter the room on feedback, but overall, I liked that. I also enjoy reading reviews of my books. I comment on some. I know my books won't be for everyone, so it's safe to be honest without fear of Authorzilla (though if you can manage respectful, that's nice).
I don't post reviews for every book I read here, but do add some when the mood strikes right.
