Z.A. Angell

Reading books with intricate plots, memorable characters, and lively dialogue inspired Z.A. Angell to imagine a myriad of her own literary characters and their adventures. These imaginary friends fell into deep hibernation when she went to college and embarked on a career in the corporate world. When the daily drudgery of a drab cubicle threatened to erode her soul, these imaginary friends reappeared to provide a virtual escape. Slowly but surely, they started to demand attention. Z.A. Angell had no choice but to narrate their adventures. There was no return.

For her historical fiction, Z.A. Angell chose to focus on the early 18th century. The backdrop spoke to her: the questioning of old social norms and the formation of new ideas, the beginning of international trade and politics, and the foundation of a modern mentality.

The Legacy of the Marshall Cousins is Z.A. Angell’s full-length novel set in France. The temptation to draw parallels through the centuries inspired her to write two short stories. Clare and Axel explores the possibility of the novel’s heroes living in present-day California, while Clare in Marseille is an homage to the time-travel genre, where the modern Clare meets the Marshall cousins.
