Angela Carlie is, quite possibly, one of the awesomest people on the planet. Seriously. I wish she lived closer to me instead of on the other side of the country. I've known her online for a few years now and last year I begged her to join DarkSide Publishing. She agreed, making me one happy chickie!
Read on to learn more about her!!!!
MJ: Tell me a bit about your novel, Loramendi's Story, in your own words - not the official synopsis.
AC: Loramendi’s Story is
the first novel in the Lords of Shifters series. It’s about a teenage girl named
Lora whose mother has been missing from her life since she was one year old.
She falls for a hot windsurfer and she discovers that her life has been a
façade. When she begins to go through a physical change, the truth about her
life is finally revealed and she’s forced to accept her destiny.
This novel is full of
adventure, romance, and sexy shapeshifters.
MJ: Did you pants or plot while writing your first draft?
AC: 100% pantsed this one.
MJ: What’s your next release going to be?
AC: I’m currently working
on the second novel of the Lords of Shifters series. It’s not yet titled, but I
hope it will be available to the public sometime early 2012.
(note from MJ: since this interview, Angela titled her book Spider Wars and it has this amazing cover!!!)
MJ: Now for the fun stuff!!!
AC: Zomvamplows
AC: Something else. I was
a loner with literally only one friend who I never saw because she always hung out
in the art room while I hung out in the auditorium or … somewhere else. ;) I
had daisies painted all over my car, wore bell bottoms and leg warmers, but not
at the same time, and worked at a veterinary hospital.
MJ: Do you have any pets?
AC: Yes! Four cats and two
dogs live with us at the moment.
AC: I recently read on
your FB page how fearful you are of scary movies. I used to be a paranormal
investigator once upon a time. We investigated hundreds of locations. At one
location in particular, we investigated a building that had been reporting
activity for years. It’s now a famous haunted location. But, at that time, at
around 1 am, a fellow investigator (a psychic) and I were on the third floor
that once housed a brothel, in a room where abortions were performed and women
often died. We were alone and setting up equipment in the dark. The air was
thick and we felt like we weren’t really alone at all. In the room next to us,
one of our motion alarms went off, screaming at us through the wall. We both
shot up and made a run for it (very unprofessional, I know). In the process, my
larger psychic friend pushed me out of her way to make her escape. My right leg
fell through a hole in the floor and I was stuck, laughing and crying at the
same time, all by myself.
My question: If you
and your best friend were in the same situation, and you were the psychic
friend, would you have gone back for your friend stuck in the hole near the
scary room with possible activity or would you have kept running all the way
down the stairs to safety?
(Do you have any idea how long it took me to read all of that to my Magic 8 Ball?!?!?!)

M8B: Outlook Good
MJ: Well, of course that's the answer! I would never leave a friend stuck in a hole in a possibly-haunted house. I grew up in a possibly-haunted house. Not afraid! :D
