Angel McGregor

I was born and raised in Yorkshire, England, and have been writing for as long as I can remember. Creating characters, and telling stories is what makes me happy, and once I get writing the hours just seem to disappear on me. You will often find me hanging out in the worlds that my imagination conjures up and I am never far from either my laptop which is the centre of my operations, or a notebook, just in case inspiration strikes when I am out.
I have a degree in English Literature, obtained from Bishop Grosseteste University in Lincoln, where I fine tuned my knowledge and thrived in the Creative Writing classes which were by far my favourite - it is there that the ideas for my first novel came about, scribbled furiously on the back of a worksheet!
Other than writing, reading is my biggest obsession (and I don't use that word lightly); my personal collection is one I am very proud of and is forever growing, despite the fact that my 'to-be-read' pile never seems to get any smaller... I read what I write - Fantasy fiction, and still regularly venture into the YA section where some of my favourites sit! And since becoming a Bookseller in December 2017, I have tried to step out of my comfort zone and read books that I might not normally pick up - this led me to discover that I quite enjoy crime fiction and still have a love of children's fantasy fiction!!

I am a typical introvert as far as my writing and reading are concerned, but I break the norm when it comes to wanting to be out and about in the world. I love to explore, searching for new ideas that will spark my imagination into creating a new character or storyline that I will then mold into my next creation! A good adventure is always exciting, especially when it comes with a little spontaneity.
