Angela Moody is a native Vermonter. There isn’t a time that she doesn’t remember telling stories, whether concocting plays with her friends in the backyard or writing fiction, she’s been hard at work on her craft since she was very young.

Always a voracious reader, her favorite authors were John Steinbeck, Stephen King, Anya Seton, John Jakes, as well as Laura Ingalls Wilder and Louisa May Alcott. Angela would say her biggest influences in her choice of writing were John Jakes and Anya Seton. She is also a huge fan of Bernard Cornwell.

Angela received a Bachelor of Arts degree in history and English Literature from Trinity College of Vermont—now part of the University of Vermont. Angela lives in Vermont with her husband, Jim. Their two grown children have successful lives of their own.

She has been writing historical fiction for more than twenty years.

No Safe Haven is her debut novel and The Belle of Oyster Bay is her second. She is hard at work researching her next novel.
Angela is a Docent as well as a former member of the Board of Directors at the Ethan Allen Homestead Museum, in Burlington, Vermont.
