Bio



Angela Morrison, YA novelist and poet, landed a two-book deal with Razorbill/Penguin and published, Taken by Storm (2009) and Sing me to Sleep (2010 Goodreads Choice Nominee, USA Best Books 2011 Winner for YA fiction). 
When her editor left Razorbill and her agent became a book packager, devoted bloggers convinced Angela to indie publish Storm's sequel, Unbroken Connection and she launched this blog and wrote the final book in the series here.

Angela graduated from Brigham Young University with a BA in English and holds an MFA in Writing for Children and Young Adults from Vermont College of Fine Arts where she studied with Ron Koertge (Stoner and Spaz), Sharon Darrow (Trash), Louise Hawes (Rosey in the Present Tense), and Susan Fletcher (Shadow Spinner). She also workshopped with Tobin Anderson, Alison McGhee, Tim Wynne-Jones, and the late, Norma Fox Mazer. 

She grew up in Eastern Washington on the wheat farm where Taken by Storm is set. After over a decade abroad in Canada, Switzerland and Singapore, she and her family are happily settled on the edge of the Sonoran desert in Arizona. Angela enjoys speaking to writers and readers of all ages about her craft. She has visited over 50 schools since her debut where she involves students in her creative process as they search for the perfect teen heroine and . . . the guy. She has four grownup children—mostly grown up—and the most remarkable grandkids in the universe.
