Angelia Pershing was always an imaginative child, creating games for her brother and cousins to play, and, when she grew too old for make believe games, she discovered writing as a way to channel that imagination. After finishing high school, Angelia studied English literature in college. She graduated Cum Laude in 2011 from Texas Woman's University with a Bachelors of Arts in English and a minor in Education, and became a middle school English teacher. She currently teaches seventh graders, hoping to inspire the next group of young writers. She lives in Fort Worth, Texas with her husband, John, and enjoys spending time with her cat, Mitten. She also volunteers with Border Collie Rescue and Rehab of Texas, where she adopted her two dogs, Beauty and Cinderella.
