87: Angela Terry - Author of Charming Falls Apart

Angela Terry (Charming Falls Apart, Spark Press, August 2020)  talks about how her novel's protagonist was inspired by a woman Angela met casually at a bachelorette party, her decision to publish with a hybrid press rather than self-publish, and how she finds the late-night hours her best time to shut off the rest of the world and concentrate on her writing. Angela is an attorney who formerly practiced intellectual property law at large firms in Chicago and San Francisco. She resides in San Francisco with her husband and two cats. She is also a Chicago Marathon legacy runner and races to raise money for PAWS Chicago—the Midwest's largest no-kill shelter. Her debut novel, Charming Falls Apart, is a 2020 Best Book Awards Finalist. Her second novel, The Trials of Adeline Turner, will be published in September 2021. To learn more about Angela, click here.
