About The Author
Angela James was born in Chicago, Illinois, April 1, 1980 to Evelyn James and Jerome Wilson. She was an honor student and excelled in her studies which placed her in accelerated classes at Lawndale Elementary School, Dvorak Elementary School, and Our Lady of the Westside: Precious Blood Catholic School, all on Chicago’s Westside. She briefly attended Collin’s High School before being transferred to McClain High School in Lexington, MS. After graduating with honors and receiving an academic scholarship, Angela attended Alcorn State University in Lorman, Mississippi as a Business major. The next year she transferred to Mississippi State University where her major became marketing and advertising. After spending two years there she decided to leave school, due to family issues, and enlist in the United States Navy.
She enlisted in the United States Navy in 2002 and after boot camp at Recruit Training Command (RTC) Great Lakes, IL, went on to study cryptology maintenance in Pensacola, FL. After training she was stationed on the USS John F. Kennedy CV-67 in Jacksonville, FL. From there she transferred to the Office of Naval Intelligence in Suitland, MD. She was then chosen as an individual augmentee to deploy to Djibouti, Africa in support of Operation Enduring Freedom/Operation Iraqi Freedom. This is where she began writing her first novel, Love's Triangle. After six months of deployment, Angela returned home where she finalized her novel and continued writing short stories, stage plays, musicals, poems and other literary works, and also chronicled her time in the military. In November 2009 she made her dream a reality by publishing Love's Triangle. After hefty responses, Angela began writing her second novel Bitch, launching in 2012, along with her first romance docu-series, Erotica. At her last command in the Navy, the USS Carl Vinson CVN-70, she wrote a short musical play for the ship's Multi-Cultural committee’s Black History celebration. Her peers, fellow Navy sailors, helped her put this literary work into an astounding production.
Angela has written short stories, plays, poems, songs, and most recently novels since in grade school. Pursuing writing and becoming an established novelist in the genre she’s creating of romantic suspense novels is her priority.
Angela separated from the Navy in 2011, and works as a Network Engineer, making writing her number one goal. She currently lives in California.
