Inspirations
Gothic Cinema Meets Fantasy
Angela's books are inspired by the sweeping romance of cinema: the atmospheric beauty of Crimson Peak, the impossible yearning of Phantom of the Opera, the adventure of The Mummy, the tragic romance of Moulin Rouge.
She reimagines these aesthetics in fantasy worlds where Black women fall for immortal beings, gods, fae, cursed immortals, and ancient powers who've lived for centuries but never loved until her.
Representation in Fantasy
Why black heroines?
Black women deserve to be swept off their feet by immortals too.
In a genre dominated by white heroines and ambiguous fantasy races, Angela writes the stories she wanted to read but couldn't find: Black women as the center of epic, sweeping, impossible romances. Women who are desired, protected, fought for, and loved by beings who've walked the earth for millennia.
Black heroines are scholars, musicians, rebels, survivors, and warriors. They're complex, flawed, and powerful. And they always get their happily ever after.
