Book Talk: Angela Bell

Listen to the episode with Angela Bell

Today it is such fun to introduce you to my friend and debut author Angela Bell. There is something so sweet about that first, full-length book, and when you tackle something that blends Around the World in 80 Days with Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies you get the wonder and magic of A Lady’s Guide to Marvels and Misadventures. Y’all, I loved this novel. It was such fun with Victorian whimsy and a hint of steampunk. Historical romance, heavy on wonder and fun. Mystery with a tinge of suspense. Romance with a dollop of travel. There is unexpected depth to the hero and heroine as they both wrestle with the demons of feeling isolated and alone. The fantastical journey they embark on is a wonderous race around 1860 Europe, but it’s also an exploration to learn about themselves. I so loved this carefully constructed, intricately timed journey of exploration and fun with hints of suspense and fun. Wait! I’m gushing. In our chat, we explored how her desire to travel shows up in this novel as well as how her love for the hero’s war injury impacts him. We explore how she knew she was an author and the advice she would give her younger writing self. It was such fun to connect over this fun story, and I can’t wait to hear what you think. Have you read it yet?
