Jo Sparkes

At the age of three, my father found me with a book in my lap, yelling "Read, read, read!" He tiptoed away.

I’ve interviewed NFL stars and 3rd string players, taken and taught writing and screenwriting classes, won awards and been brutally rejected repeatedly.

I am, after all, a writer.

Just moved to Plymouth, England - and love it.

London James

Welcome to my little corner of the internet! So who am I? Well, it’s quite simple actually. Of course, first and foremost, I’m a wife and mother. However, along with those two hats, I’m also a Sweet Historical and Contemporary Romance author who writes in her fuzzy pants and loves her horses and her cats!

Love historical romance? Well, then strap on those petticoats, travel back in time, and go on adventures with my sweet Historical Romances. Not feeling historical today? I have a few sweet Contemporary Romances, too!

And if you are looking for something with a little more heat (not too much, but more smooching and some fade-to-black scenes), then check out my titles written under the name Angela Christina Archer
