Angeleque Ford is the nom de plume for a voluptuous woman whose family heritage is a sensual mix of African-American, Irish, Native American and Italian.
Angeleque is a newer author in the publishing world. She is a full-time writer in addition to working her day job. Angeleque has always dreamed of being a published author and is happy to say her dream is beginning to come through. Currently she has two novellas out with more in the works and is working on two full-length novels (an erotic, multi-cultural urban fantasy with romantic elements and a multi-cultural young adult novel).
She has lived her entire life in beautiful Detroit, Michigan. When she's not writing or working her day job she enjoys cooking, baking, gardening, candle-making, crocheting and quilting, bargain shopping and being with her family and friends. She is either curled up with a good book or shopping online for shoes & purses. She loves to travel, has a thirst and passion for life and love that shines through in her writing.
Angeleque is also a voracious reader, writes articles on writing and her writing life and has been a book reviewer for Romance Divas and currently reviews books for Night Owl Romance.
Why Multi-Cultural and Inter-Racial?
When I was younger I read countless books and stories that didn’t have many characters of color (non-white) characters. I used to “picture and portray” the heroine and her friends as little brown-skinned, caramel toned girls. Because as a reader, I want my stories to reflect the diversity of this world we live in. I want my characters to reflect me, my family and friends.
How would I describe my books?
My books are about the journey of relationships between two people be they heterosexual or homosexual and the ups & downs, triumphs and tragedies that threaten to tear them apart but only brings them closer. Sometimes that journey is erotic in nature but not just from a sexual standpoint. Because for a relationship to succeed, at least in my opinion, there has to be some level of intimacy and the closer you get to people, the more comfortable you become with them, especially on an intimate level, you can see how the interaction and intimacy changes and enhances the relationship, makes them stronger, helps build a bond.
