Angeline Amefia was born and raised in Maryland, where her love for books began with her mother's storytelling at bedtime. She spent many of her childhood years either outdoors with wild friends or in the room she shared with her sister, lost in a story. Her passion for writing began soon after, from silly comics to short stories and finally, to intense fiction novels. Years in the making, Compound is Angeline's debut novel.
