My fiction meanders across a wide range of themes and moods, but almost always includes fantastical elements, usually of the botanical or creepy variety. My flash piece “Enough” is here at Idle Ink, my Field Report about bone elks is in Episode 62 of The CryptoNaturalist podcast, and most recently, my poem “Gold in the Aftermath” was published in Clarion Magazine’s second issue, released October, 2024.
As a freelancer and BCYCNA-winning journalist, I’ve written about artists, architecture, food and wine, travel and anything else that’s caught my eye. I specialize in finding the heart of the story, whatever that may be. I contribute regularly to a number of magazines in and around the Victoria, central Vancouver Island, Okanagan and Lower Mainland regions of BC.
Recent (or favourite) articles include: “Inhabiting Landscapes,” “Finding the Mountain,” “Good Taste: Finest At Sea,” “A Slice of Heaven with a lot of Heart,” “Beauty. Balance.,” “Hearth and Home,” “The Icing on the Cake,” and “Arthur Vickers: Artist, Technician and Master Storyteller.” I’ve also had the honour of writing the 2022 and 2023 retirement profiles for a number of St. Michaels University School’s faculty, published here.
As well as writing individual stories, I’ve worked with clients to create website and marketing content, product taglines and descriptions, a variety of internal policies, expansion proposals and more.

Angela is the first freelancer I turn to when I want something accurate, on time and beautifully written. She is an excellent writer, creates an immediate connection with the people she interviews, and instinctively knows how to draw people into her stories and then paint a beautiful picture in words. She always meets her deadlines, and her copy is clean and accurate. Basically, she rocks.
