About this author

Christy-Award winner Angela Hunt writes for readers who have learned to expect the unexpected in novels from this versatile author. With over three million copies of her books sold worldwide, she is the best-selling author of more than 100 works ranging from picture books (The Tale of Three Trees) to novels.

Now that her two children have reached their twenties, Angie and her husband live in Florida with Very Big Dogs (a direct result of watching Turner and Hooch and Sandlot too many times). This affinity for mastiffs has not been without its rewards--one of their dogs was featured on Live with Regis and Kelly as the second-largest canine in America. Their dog received this dubious honor after an all-expenses-paid trip to Manhattan for the d...more



Carlene's past

I didn't have any huge topics to research before writing FIVE MILES SOUTH OF PECULIAR, but dozens of little ones. First, Peculiar is a fictional town, but it had to be set in a real place, so I had to find out a lot about a particular region in northwest Florida, about 30 miles north of Tallahassee.



Second, each of the sisters had her background, so for Carlene I had to research... read more »

More of Angela's books…
“I've never been one to mourn the passing of what could have been a promising relationship. When Jeff Knave broke my heart in the ninth grade, I decided then and there that if a guy couldn't see that I was something special, I'd say good-bye with no regrets. Not that I think I'm more special than anyone else, mind you. But if a thing is not meant to be, I figure it's just not part of God's infinite plan.”
Angela Elwell Hunt, The Velvet Shadow

“And let me tell you - carrying sad memories will wear you out. You've got to put them down walk away. Do whatever you must to put emotional space between yourself and your past. That's the only way you're going to make it through.”
Angela Elwell Hunt, The Note: A Novel -

“Our town was known for two things--no, three: salted fish, expertly dyed fabrics, and corruption.”
Angela Elwell Hunt, Magdalene

Julie (julie37619) Thanks for adding me! I count your books among those that really got me into literature. Dreamers and Roanoke are two that I read in Middle School and loved. My grandmother and I trade books and yours are some that she continues to pass on to me after she's finished.


Daniel
Angela, I've added Uncharted and some of your other books to my to-read list.
