My guest this week is Angela Kay Austin, and I am
pleased to welcome her to the podcast. You can listen to this new episode at:
Angela Kay Austin is the bestselling author of such
works of romantic fiction as Christmas' Journey, Love's
Chance, and My
Son, published by Red
Rose Publishing. Angela likes to say that she writes stories about women
who've been kicked in the butt by life - and they're tired of it. You can find
more of Angela’s work and updated information on her exciting career on her
website: www.angelakayaustin.com.
Angela Kay Austin has expressed herself through
words for as long as she can remember. Some
of her early poetry became songs performed with her cousin at family gatherings. But, eventually, short stories filled her
favorite pink diary.
An infatuation with music and theater led to years
playing various instruments and small extra roles in TV shows before giving way
to a degree and career in radio and TV production. After completing another degree in marketing,
Angela found herself combining her love for all things creative and worked for
many many years in promotions and advertising.
When Angela once again found herself writing, her
first published work stayed on her publisher’s bestseller list for ten
weeks. Her second release hit the
bestseller list at All Romance eBooks. She has spoken on author panels, and
served on boards for various author groups.
