Row-KAY. It's French, like croquet and bouquet. Rhymes with okay.

All available goods in the online store can now be found on the SHOP page. You can find additional themed merch in the Limbo City Gift Shop on CafePress, though we do not personally manage those items.

I really, really wish I could be everywhere my readers are. I love meeting you all! But, sadly, travel is expensive, so I can only manage a few events per year. Check out the EVENTS page to see where I'll be heading next. If you have a book club and a good relationship with your local bookstore, please feel free to inquire with them about arranging a signing. If a bookstore manager decides there is enough local interest and contacts me, I am more likely to consider adding an extra trip to my schedule.

I read a zillion books, magazines, and blogs about getting published. Tried my hand at the traditional route. Had an agent for a hot minute. Decided starting the search all over again was just too daunting. Read a zillion more books, magazines, and blogs about how to self-publish. Gave that a try. Success! I'm not opposed to the idea of traditional publishing, but a deal would have to be pretty sweet for me to stop doing what's been working so well for me for so many years now. If you're looking for more information on the publishing landscape, I recommend checking out Writer's Digest. Their website and magazine are both full of awesomeness that will get your quest off to a great start.

I used to do a lot of this for anyone who asked. Now, there's just not enough hours in the day. I can barely find time for the wonderful works submitted by my close friends and critique group, the Four Horsemen of the Bookocalypse. If you are thirsty for writing feedback, I highly recommend forming your own critique group. There are countless blogs that go into detail about best practices for this, and social media is a great place to find fellow writers in your genre.

Not at all! I very much appreciate being told if there is an error in one of my books. My editors and proofreaders are amazing, and you would not believe the things they find in my prose ("back hair" that should have been "black hair" and "breakfast bowels" that should have been "breakfast bowls" to name a few of my more embarrassing slip-ups) but they are human and my errors are plentiful. Please, do not include insults aimed at my team in your email. I will also note that I was born and raised in the US Midwest, so there is a slight chance that demographics are at play. Either way, feel free to email me. I'd love to hear from you. angela@angelaroquet.com
