With much divine prompting, singer/songwriter and author Angela Dolbear sat down at her computer night after night in her cozy modest home in Austin, Texas, faithfully flanked by her golden retriever, to write her latest New Adult genre novel, MIND OVER MADELEINE – a tale of fear, forgiveness, and the Loch Ness Monster. MIND OVER MADELEINE is the companion novel to THE GARDEN KEY – a tale of lust, redemption, and really good cheeseburgers, which was released in 2010 to rave reviews and emotional spent readers.
Angela was born and raised in Southern California where she graduated from Biola University with a degree in Communication, with a Journalism emphasis. Currently, she leads worship with her husband Tim, at Northwest Fellowship in Austin, Texas. The couple also writes, records, and performs original adult contemporary music as child of the Son.
“I didn’t set out in life to be a writer, much less a novelist. I’m a musician, singer, and published songwriter with three albums of original material released,” Angela says. Her music has achieved radio airplay in Southern California’s massive Orange County market.
“I’ve always been drawn to stories, being an avid fiction reader for as long as I can remember. Consequently, writing prose has been the natural progression from songwriting for me,” Angela says. “Maybe moving to Texas had something to do with it. It’s pretty warm in the summer here, so staying cool in the A/C and writing a novel seemed like a good idea. That’s my story and sticking to it.”
