Angee Taylor Author Blitz w/ Giveaway


Angee was born in Houston, Texas in 1977, to an interesting family. Her mother and father separated when she was young. She lived with her mother who later remarried a wonderful man, who had a huge impact on her as she grew up. Angee has always had a love of reading, mostly paranormal. As a child, she would sneak up at late night when her mom thought she was sleeping, to read. They moved around a lot, eventually settling in Deep East Texas. Angee married at a young age and eventually divorced. She has raised her now 16 year old son alone. Angee works full time as a pre-hospital nurse and sometimes sees things that would make the rest of us have nightmares. On other days, she is blessed to see miracles. These things are what drive her to write.

In 2006, she was diagnosed with a rare disease, shortly after that she was told she would be on full disability in five years and most likely to be dead in ten. She’s fought to live a normal life every day since and is beating those odds. She works at a demanding job, is a single mom, cares for an elderly mother, and two dogs.

Angee describes her job as- “I fight to save people’s lives. Sometimes I lose, sometimes I win. It's the emotional roller coaster of that job, which leads me to writing. I'm able to put those emotions into my characters and let them out of my heart and soul.”

Judge a book by its cover

Do you judge a book by its cover? Should we judge a book by its cover?

I hate to admit it but I’m just as guilty of this as the next person is. That is one reason I’m glad if I’m sent books to review for my blog that are part of a tour I usually don’t see the cover until after I’ve read it. I tend to give them more of a chance then ones I get that I don’t like the covers. At the same time, if I love the cover of it I’m more likely to read it even if the story line isn’t that great.

In reality, I shouldn’t. I have read some books that I hadn’t seen the cover on until after I’d written the review. I loved the book but if I’d been shown the cover I would have turned it down. This has happened the other way to. I’ve read some books I hated, then later saw the cover and thought to myself. I so should’ve loved that book.

So that alone, is proof enough to me I shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover.​
