Interview with Angela Knight
Angela Knight has been writing since the age of nine and was first published in 1996 when her first erotic novella appeared in Secrets. Over the years, she has published over sixty novels, ebooks, and novellas and has hit several best-seller lists, including USA Today, Publisher’s Weekly and the New York Times. She’s also won countless awards.

Every time we’re together, we’re making jokes and laughing like loons. And whenever I’ve struggled with depression or cancer or job loss, Mike is the reason I’ve come out of those things with my sanity and health intact.
What are your pet peeves?
People who write “your” when they mean you’re, or “it’s” when they mean its. I’m an editor, and those kinds of mistakes don’t speak well for the American educational system.
Anthony is my birth son. In 2010 or so, he went off to Maine. He had a slew of roommates there, but James became his best friend. When it became clear that none of them could pay the rent, Anthony came back to Spartanburg. James, a New York state native, came with him. James and Anthony lived with us for almos...
They’ll need a Hanukkah miracle to find love
