Rhode Island Authors Showcase - Featuring Angelina Singer!
The Rhode Island Authors Showcase is back! Each day in November, I’ll be featuring a different RI author. Each post features a giveaway – a book, an anthology, or something else! All you have to do to be eligible for the daily drawing is leave a comment on the blog post. I’ll use a random number generator to pick a winner one week after the blog post (to give you time to catch up).
By commenting on each post, you’re also entered to win our bigger prizes: GRAND PRIZE is a $250 Amazon gift card, BONUS PRIZE is a $100 Amazon gift card, and the CHEER UP YOU WON SOMETHING PRIZE is a $50 Amazon gift card. The big prizes will be chosen, again using a random number generator, on December 7.
Lovelovelove this remarkable young powerhouse! Welcome to Angelina Singer. Let's learn some more about her.
Where is your hometown? Raynham, MA (not far from the Rhode Island border!)
Tell us about your genre(s): I write Young Adult dystopian sci-fi, YA/NA contemporary romance/time travel coming-of-age
What have you written? Just Like a Pill: Who Knew the Boy of Her Dreams Would Fall Under Her Spell (2016). The Sorting Room (book 1 of The Upperworld Series) (2017). The Fall of Zephyr (book 2 of The Upperworld Series) (2018). The Rise of Onyx (book 3 of The Upperworld Series) (2018). Forgetting What I Couldn’t Remember (book 1 of The Rewind Duology) (2020). Forgiving What I Couldn’t Change (book 2 of The Rewind Duology) (2021).
Who are some of your favorite authors? Colleen Hoover, Suzanne Collins, Jenn Bennett
What do you like best about writing? I love being able to do anything I want and be anything I want in a world that I design. It’s really fun to have that freedom, and also to have that place for healing too (as seen in The Rewind Duology).
What do find most challenging about writing? Finding motivation! Oftentimes I have the idea and the excitement, but there’s just no enthusiasm (or maybe I’m too drained from my day jobs writing). But once I hit my stride, it’s a blast! I can only hope that I find that energy again for it soon, because I’ve got a great new book idea that’s been brewing for a while, and I really want to query this one.
Where do you draw your inspiration? From life! My very first novel, Just Like a Pill, was inspired by a guy from band camp I had this crazy crush on. And my most recent concept, The Rewind Duology, was based on my past struggles with bullying as a kid and finding peace with that now as an adult.
You’ve just been given the chance to collaborate on a book with Colleen Hoover (squee!) What’s the title going to be? Colleen Hoover, that would be wild. Probably All the Things You Wish You Were. I see it as some kind of gritty, angsty, New Adult romance with maybe a second chance and a lot of frustration in the plot. She’d probably bring the spicier moments, and I’d add some fluff to the emotional moments and conversations. That would be a dream collaboration for sure!
