Angela D. Moss is an author of travel mysteries - ostensibly for middle schoolers, but secretly for everyone. Generally, her fiction is created under the cover of darkness; while there is a bright shiny orb in the sky, you can find her masquerading as a computer scientist in the field of technology. If she isn’t in front of a computer, you may find her on an airplane or cruise ship, in a museum, or even taking in the local sights on a pair of rollerskates. From an early age, Angela discovered she adores travelling, and is now happy to drag her husband, son, and daughter away from the comfort of their home (and two cats) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to gather information for future books. If you’d like to continue to follow Angela as she releases new titles, you can find links to all her social media on her website at http://www.angeladmoss.com/.
