About me

Hello and welcome

Angela Hooks, that’s me, literary artist: author, journal-keeper, writer, instructor, page designer, mother, friend, daughter and the list goes on, but it’s not all that important.  Here, at angchronicles, I’m a journal-keeper blogging about the world around me, making crazy choices, sharing my adventures, living my faith.

Otherwise:

Instructor of English at Dutchess Community College.

Workshop leader coaching teens and adults the art of being a writer at various places. (See Workshops & Events)

Forthcoming April 2013 guest blog at Brain,Child
