Behind the Scene: The Train Talk

In this week’s blog post we are going to take a look at THAT conversation, and why it went the way it did…

Writing Advice: Creating Characters

In this month’s writing advice I am going to break down how I approach creating the characters for my books- not just the individuals, but how they all work together as a cast as well!

Joash Interview

Dude! Guys! Olivier Jethro DuBois here! Back with another interview! I went deep undercover this week under the guise of my internship with the council to interview Joash! Of course he totally fell for it, thinking I want to be like him when I grow up… 🙄. But you know what they say, “Pride comes before a fall”! Just wait until you read it though!

Behind the Scene: The Prostitute in Paris

Today I’m taking you behind the scene of the Prostitute Achaia and her crew meet in Paris in chapter eleven of Transgression, book one of The Kingdom Come Series. There’s a lot going on in this scene as well as behind it! Let’s dive in to why it was so important to not only the story but the book itself.

Character Study: Shael

One of the reasons I love the enneagram over other personality typing systems for character development is its inherent ability to make characters more complex and dynamic. People don’t fit and stay in boxes like INTJ (of which I often peek my head out of). We have different facets of our personalities and different situations and people may bring out healthier or unhealthier sides of us.

Behind the Scene: The Homeless Man

Today I’m taking you behind the scene of the demon possessed homeless man from the prologue of Transgression, book one in The Kingdom Come Series. I’ll be sharing my thought process and some of the underlying motivations I had behind what all really happens in that moment.

Character Study: Me, Myself, and I

As I mentioned in this month’s Behind the Scene, I started writing Transgression as a way to figure out who I was and who I wanted to be.

I relate a lot to Noland and what he said in his interview, “I like to hunt down my areas of weakness and turn them into strengths.” The best way for me to do that was to take a good, long, honest look at myself and come to terms with what I was, and what I was working with. I thought that would be easier to do in bite sized, manageable chunks.

Behind the Scene: The Cloud Scene

Today I’m taking you behind the scene of Noland taking Achaia up onto a cloud to flee from the shadows- terrible demons- in book one of The Kingdom Come Series, Transgression. I’ll be talking about some fun facts, and what all went into creating this moment with the characters.

Penance Receives a Positive Review from Kirkus!

“Ange’s taut, well-paced sequel ratchets up the personal stakes for its main character but also pushes the planet toward annihilation…” – Kirkus
