Angela Lombardo grew up in Akron, Ohio, where her grandparents raised her on a farm. Her affection for animals and the rural lifestyle resonates deep within her, as she has always been a tomboy at heart. When Angela was not reading or writing, she engaged in various activities like playing the piano, participating in sports, and casting a rod, hoping for the ultimate catch. Her fascination with comics took root with iconic characters like Spiderman, Wonder Woman, and Superman. Much of her childhood was spent alongside her older brother, racing dirt bikes and three-wheelers. In the fall of 2017, Angela's creative journey exploded when a restless night sparked the inception of "The Half-Light" after contemplating the absence of a mother figure in a story she had crafted for her son. This initial spark led her to dedicate an entire weekend to unraveling the mystery of the missing mother. This poignant experience proved to be transformative, propelling Angela into the creation of the Katori Chronicles, an enthralling five-book series: The Katori Chronicles, includes The Half-Light, Mariana’s Secret, Rayna’s Sacrifice, The Traitor, and Keegan’s Wrath.
