BIOGRAPHY
I'm Angela Knight, and I've been a published romance author since 1996. I've written more than 50 novels, novellas and eBooks since then.

I first knew I wanted to be a writer when I was nine years old, when I wrote a story called "The Mouse that Went to the Moon," in pencil, illustrated in crayon, fifty-one years ago.

I was first professionally published as a comic book writer in 1988, which is about when I decided I wanted to write romance novels. The biggest thing standing in my way back then was a tendency to compulsively rewrite the first chapter of any book I wrote over and over and OVER again. I have no idea how many first chapters I wrote. I must have murdered twenty perfectly good ideas that way.

Get that first draft finished before you try to edit it, people!

Anyway, I finally overcame the compulsive editing problem in 1996 by writing novellas for Red Sage, one of the first erotic romance novella small presses. A New York editor named Cindy Hwang read one of those books and emailed me about writing for Penguin Putnam's Berkley Sensation imprint.
Not being a complete moron, I jumped at the chance.
I pitched two paranormal series to her, and she bought both of them.

The first was the Mageverse series, which is about King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, who in my books are actually vampires, still alive today and fighting to save humanity from our collective suicidal streak.

The second is about genetically engineered futuristic time-traveling warriors called the Time Hunters.
Books from both series hit the New York Times and USA Today best seller lists over the following fourteen years.
I also won a slew of awards from Romance Times Book Club Magazine, culminating in a Career Achievement award.
