About this author

Angel Martinez currently lives part time in the hectic sprawl of northern Delaware and full time inside her head. She has one husband, one son, two cats, a love of all things beautiful and a terrible addiction to the consumption of both knowledge and chocolate.

Angel's alter ego writes the all-ages science fiction - Sandra Stixrude.


Trying to keep track of time for me is worse than holding water in a sieve - forever slipping away. So - it's the middle of May already and I (and my alter ego) have two releases this weekend.

On Sunday, 5/19, Canines, Crosshairs and Corpses (M/M Fantasy) releases at Amber Allure.
