Friendy Friday with Claudy Conn and Angela Roquet from MMU!
Greetings Rockers! I'm coming to you from Falls Church, VA today where my family and I are about to embark on an adventure. I'll be sure to post pics, but first...I've got TWO witchtastic author interviews for you today from my fellow Magic and Mayhem Blast Off group! Claudy Conn and Angela Roquet will make you giggle with their answers to the Witchy Interview! So sit back, strap in, and hold on!
USA Today bestselling author Angela Roquet is a great big weirdo. She collects Danger Girl comic books, owls, skulls, random craft supplies, and all things Joss Whedon. She’s a fan of renewable energy, marriage equality, and religious tolerance. As long as whatever you’re doing isn’t hurting anyone, she’s a fan of you, too.
Angela lives in Missouri with her husband and son. She’s a member of SFWA and HWA, as well as the Four Horsemen of the Bookocalypse, her epic book critique group, where she’s known as Death. When she’s not swearing at the keyboard, she enjoys boating with her family at Lake of the Ozarks and reading books that raise eyebrows.
