Angie Schwendeman

Angie Schwendeman is a wife, mother, photographer, and author. Born in 1977, this Cincinnati native resides in middle Georgia with her husband, daughter, and faithful black Labrador. Although "Perimenopause and Menopause: What you really want to know, but no one tells you" is her first published book, she has been writing blogs, poetry, stories, and partial manuscripts since her days at The University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Go Big Orange!

While researching neurology about hormones, for Book 2 (Meno Edition - title subject to change), Angie needed a break from reading medical journals. She decided to attempt to write an imaginative story, one that brought her back to her childhood. You see, as a young girl, she wasn't a big reader. She found reading boring and couldn't get lost in the pages. That was until she found "Choose Your Own Adventure" books. The idea that the reader could choose the path sparked an instant change, which quickly turned her into a voracious reader.

So, on a mini hiatus from hormonal research, she wrote a story about a curious girl who solves mysteries with her beloved black Labrador. Angie framed the story similarly to "Choose Your Own Adventure," where there are different paths and multiple endings. In a few short months, Book 1 turned into the "You Make the Call Series." She hopes that these books will find readers searching for something a bit interactive and different.

Angie is a self-proclaimed wine snob who enjoys coffee, tennis, hummingbirds, travel, writing, photography, and spending time with her friends and family. You can find her on Facebook and Instagram.
