About this author

Angel Leigh McCoy lives with a cat named Boo, in Seattle, where the long, dark winters feed her penchant for horror and dark fantasy. Her short fiction has appeared in several anthologies, including the RAVENS IN THE LIBRARY project.

During the day, she is a game designer at ArenaNet, where she is part of a vast team effort to make the coolest MMORPG ever: Guild Wars 2. At night, she writes crazy fiction and serves as head editor at WilyWriters.com.

Over the years, she has designed RPG material for White Wolf, Wizards of the Coast, FASA, and Pinnacle Entertainment Group. She also worked for Microsoft Game Studios, writing articles as Xbox.com correspondent Wireless Angel.

You can check out a list of her latest projects on her website.


Post image for Narrative Design Workshop at World Horror Convention, New Orleans – June 2013

I’m going to be presenting a 4-hour workshop on narrative design at the World Horror Convention in New Orleans (June 13-16, 2013). The convention has approved only one workshop this year (this one), and space is extremely limited, so sign up early! :)

Stan Law A belated thanks for choosing me to be among your friends, Jerry. It may interest you that my book Marvin Clark—In Search of Freedom in now a matching FREE download on Amazon Kindle. This is not SF, but you might be well amused. Enjoy it while you can. (A little review on Amazon wouldn't hurt either!)

I blame the fact that I tried to read it for the first time when I was already well into being a grown up. :) Perhaps if I'd read it as a child, I'd have liked it better. I found it stuffy and overblown. But, that's me. :)

Alan Baxter Hi Angela

You've certainly got an interesting career going on - I have friends that would kill for your job!

I noticed you only gave 1 star to The Hobbit. Why was that? You must be the only person I know that doesn't like it. :)
