Success is guaranteed in one form or another for this exotic beauty who hails from a region in which none would suspect a woman of such mystery and wisdom to emerge. A wise man once said, “Never has an ocean run deeper than the mysteries of a beautiful woman.” More truthful words were never spoken. Angelina was born in Trenton, New Jersey to father Gilbert H. Riddell and Mother A. Marie Riddell on May 17, 1972. Angelina’s father was a Trenton Police Officer and her mother a Home Maker. Angelina’s parents separated when she turned a year and a half and her mother was five months pregnant with son Jason Michael. Returning to Wilmington, Delaware with their mother Angelina and Jason were raised by their mother Marie and grandmother Dorothy L. McFarland. Angelina’s mother and grandmother were both single, strong independent women who were both in the arts. Her mother being a talented writer and vocalist and her grandmother also a vocalist, musician and writer Angelina was always surrounded by self-expression through the arts. Angelina was also a very outdoorsy child with her family having a strong bloodline of Cherokee in them one could always find Angelina down in the woods playing in the creek with the animals. In 1978 Angelina’s mother remarried to David A. Robinson and in 1979 David adopted both Angelina and her younger brother Jason. While their mother worked days and attended collage at night their new father worked for a local heating and air conditioning company, the family resided at the home where their mother grew up. When Angelina entered her teens her father David went to work for Dupont and the family relocated to Newark, Delaware. Angelina’s grandmother sold the family home that she grew up in to move back to the mountains of Virginia where some of their family is from. Angelina had an estranged childhood with some normal ups and downs, however she was far from ever being a normal child. She was always writing, drawing, singing and every chance she got she would be in school plays no matter what the part was. As Angelina grew up her imagination increased in size and writing became a big part of her life. At that point it was mostly poems and short stories. She joined a rock and roll band called “Black Onyx” when she was sixteen. Every moment with Angelina was like being on a roller coaster you never had a clue what would come next. On Angelina’s eighteenth birthday she received word from her biological father Gilbert H. Riddell and after being separated for almost fifteen years she was reunited with him. Angelina now has a second family with her father Gilbert and stepmother Eileen and two stepbrothers Jay and David. Angelina was always running back and forth to both sets of parents, however whenever she became overwhelmed by it all she always ran back to the Cherokee Reservation in North Carolina were her family originated from. Angelina says “I always feel like I am at home on the reservation and to this day I visit frequently. However the other part of my family is from England and I am anticipating my first trip out there to continue working on the series.” Lately Angelina has been hard-core writing between Cherokee and her apartment in Newark, Delaware, which she shares with housemate, close friend and editor Justin R. Collins. She spends her down time with her goddaughter Brandi M. Gentner who is also an editor for “The Hunger Series”. Brandi and husband Rich have four children, which are Angelina’s great godchildren. Single at age thirty-two she says that she is patient and believes that the one with the magical eyes will find her. It is never a dull moment traveling as much as possible to expand her imagination, knowledge and feed her undying need for the ultimate adrenaline rush. She loves the fact that she can write anywhere she chooses and does so. Her favorite place to write is in the middle of a field surrounded by majestic mountains and the sounds of the Cherokee drums whispering upon the wind.
