A Good Knight Kiss

A Good Knight Kiss

Angela Knight

It’s always fun for me when writer friends pen a Last Kiss. Their gags are always expressions of their own personalities and humor. And they always surprise me.

Angela Knight, best selling erotic romance writer.

Best-selling, erotic-romance author Angela Knight went above and beyond, though. She also let me use the art she created for one of her books, Unmasked. (“Things get hot when heroes take off their masks — among other things!”)

Plus today’s Last Kiss turned into a bit of a collaboration. I wrote the opening caption.  (“How do superheroes pay their super bills…”) So extra fun for me.

Like me, Angela has her roots in newspaper reporting and writing comics. Most notably, she wrote a three-issue, 1988 comic book series, CyCops for David Anthony Kraft’s company Comics Interview.

Best-selling New York Times Author

In 1996, Angela discovered small press publisher Red Sage, and realized her dream of romance publication in the company’s Secrets 2 anthology.

She published several more novellas and a novel with the company before going on to write for the Berkley Imprint of Penguin Random House. Books from her Mageverse and Time Hunters series hit the New York Times list. She was also the recipient of a Career Achievement award in Paranormal Romance from Romantic Times Bookclub Magazine

Angela lives in South Carolina with her husband, Michael, a detective with the Spartanburg City Police Department. The couple has two grown sons, Anthony and James Berg.
