Angela Carling was raised in Palm Springs California, but lives Arizona with her husband, three kids and five felines. After years of denial she finally admitted that she is a hopeless romantic which led her to write her first Young Adult book Unbreakable Love. Since then she’s published three more books, Shackled, Becoming Bryn and The Secret Keeper. Shackled won the silver IPGA award in 2012 and has been optioned as a screenplay. She always eats the frosting off her cake and leaves the rest, and can be caught singing in public bathrooms just for the acoustics. When she’s not writing YA novels, she’s mentoring teen writers, making pizza with her family or dreaming of taking a nap, not necessarily in that order
Anna Taylor is California- native, Arizona- raised teen writer who is over the moon that something has come of her odd obsession with words. Belakane is Anna's first writing to be published, and she is eternally grateful to Angela Carling for the crash course she has gotten in all things author. When she isn't writing, Anna is thinking about writing or finishing up her Senior year of high school, and, yes, those two often coincide. Her family often act as beta readers for literally anything that resembles a plot line. Anna has special place in her heart for anything that is furry and has whiskers, and always has room for an In and Out shake.
