Anngela Schroeder

Anngela has a degree in English with a concentration in British Literature and a Masters of Education. She loves to travel, bake, and watch college football with her husband of 23 years and 3 handsome sons. Her earliest memory is sitting on the kitchen counter, swinging her legs and regaling her mother with stories she dreamt the night before. Her weaknesses are yellow cake with chocolate frosting, her father's Arabic food (namely grape leaves, and falafel), and frozen Girl Scout Thin Mints. She lives in California where she dreams of Disney adventures and trips across the pond. When she is not writing, she teaches 12th grade English and Creative Writing, plans events for her high school seniors, and perfects her chocolate chip cookie recipe.
