Blog postChapter 1 “I believe that if life gives you lemons, you should make lemonade… And try to find somebody whose life has given them vodka, and have a party.”
—Ron White
Shopping in Hell was a unique experience. Occasionally, Bub took me to Lilith Enchanted, an overpriced dress boutique. But he knew my dress size and what I liked—or rather, what he liked and what I would tolerate—so most of the gowns I owned arrived in fancy black boxes embossed with the boutique’s ser3 months ago Read more -

Maybe I was imagining things, but Jenni Fang and I had been on the verge of friendship at one time. Our differences were many, but we’d found balance in our common denominator, Josie Galla.
If not for Josie, I don’t imagine Jenni and I would have ever been roommates or study buddies, or gone shopping together. The only time Jenni ha8 months ago Read more -
Blog postChapter 2 “When I was a boy, the Dead Sea was only sick."
—George Burns
Even though I now resided in Tartarus with Beelzebub, it was hard not to think of Limbo as home. I’d spent three hundred years in the city, and even its flaws had a certain charm to them. The ancient, rickety dock piers that were constantly being repaired. The nosy goddess shopkeepers. The faerie-inhabited woods scattered along the coast.

Time worked differently between the mortal side and Eternity. That’s how Kevin, Eliza, and I were able to coin off from the Limbo City harbor in full daylight and end up in the pitch-black night on Coney Island. Thankfully, reapers didn’t suffer from jet lag.

Blog postThe Gospel of Lana A grim summary of the original Lana Harvey, Reapers Inc. series.
In the beginning…
Let’s be real. It was a train wreck.
A few thousand years ago, a handful of original believers willed the deities and afterlives of Eternity into existence. The gods have been at odds ever since, bickering over the fates of the deceased and the soul matter that shapes our world beyond the grave.

Blog postA new addition to the front matter of Cursed Cogs (World Clock Journals Book 1).
Author’s Note Dear sweet reader,
This was a challenging series to write. Which means it may be a challenging series to read, as well. To be fair, I did expect a broken time machine would complicate matters. For some readers, half the satisfaction will be in deciphering exactly how mangled time has become in this alternate world of historic Boston.

Blog postAfter the delayed release of Cursed Cogs, I had a feeling Gear Hearts would require a bit more time to reach the finish line, too. But not too much time. The new release date is April 27th. Here is a little peek at what's in store for book 2 of the World Clock Journals. Enjoy!

Blog postChapter One
At some point in nearly every girl’s youth, she fantasizes about being a princess. She dresses up as Cinderella for Halloween or has a royally-themed birthday party. She beams at pet names like Daddy’s little princess. Competes in pageants or campaigns for a homecoming crown in high school.

Blog postPrologue
Lou held tight to the top of the trucks as they plowed east through the winter night. Snow fell from the black sky, illuminated momentarily by headlights.
A bright moon loomed overhead.
Lou took a breath and faded through the frosty roof of the truck. When the world reformed around her, she was crouching between the two front seats and the men who occupied them.
She pulled her gun and put a bullet in the driver first. The truck careened, rumbling off into the fro3 years ago Read more -

Blog postI've always had a love/hate relationship with research. On one hand, it takes time--an indefinite amount of time that makes my OCD side panic when I'm trying to outline every last minute of my 5-year plan. Which I redo every other week. We all have our vices. Don't judge me.
On the other hand, research is magical. I get lost in it (cue OCD-me having a panic attack when I realize my 6-hour writing window has been lost to a research rabbit hole on the history of bloodletting). Still,5 years ago Read more -

Titles By Angela Roquet
Aside from the skull of her most prized mortal vessel, that is.
Lana didn't expect an invitation from Isis to the biggest bash in Duat, but then favors are seldom requested without first greasing the wheels. The goddess needs a trustworthy reaper for a top-secret mission: to retrieve a talisman hidden in the tomb of an Egyptian queen before it's unearthed by archaeologists.
The relic possesses magical properties. In the wrong hands, it could unleash a plague on humans--or the afterlives. Lana soon discovers scientists are the least of her worries. If she'd known about the tomb-raiding cult hellbent on resurrecting Seth, she would have charged double.

Welcome to Limbo City...
Bundled set of books 1-3 in Angela Roquet's Lana Harvey, Reapers Inc. series.
Meet Lana Harvey, a reaper who resides in Limbo City, the capital of the modern afterlife, where deities from every faith must coexist and work together to keep all hell from breaking loose in Eternity. It's a tall order, and up until recently, Lana didn't realize how much of that responsibility rested on her shoulders.
If you had Lana's job, you'd be grim, too.

Lana Harvey is a reaper, and a lousy one at that. She resides in Limbo City, the modern capital of the collective afterlives, where she likes to stick it to the man (the legendary Grim Reaper himself) by harvesting the bare minimum of souls required of her. She’d much rather be hanging out with Gabriel, her favorite archangel, at Purgatory Lounge. But when a shocking promotion falls in Lana's lap, she learns something that could unravel the very fabric of Eternity. If the job isn’t completed, there could be some real hell to pay.

Apple trees have taken over Limbo City. The Woke Souls are attributing the miracle on their new deity: Lana Harvey. The Afterlife Council is not pleased, though Lana insists she's not to blame. She can't even keep the demonic houseplants alive at the mansion she shares with Beelzebub in Tartarus. To disprove these radical accusations before they boil to a head, Lana takes her axe to the fledgling grove to nip the issue in the bud. But when things go from sapling bad to code orchard-red, Lana has to decide if keeping the Afterlife Council happy is worth the trouble that comes from denying one's destiny.

Well, back from delivering the dead to the afterlives, anyway. The political and social landscape of Limbo City has gone through quite the makeover since the Throne of Eternity was broken and the souls in the sea took charge of their own destinies. But progress is a journey on the road less traveled. Which means potholes are inevitable. And who better to pave the way than the reaper who set all this upheaval into motion?

With great power comes great responsibility—which is why Lana’s always avoided it in the past. But more than that, power has the potential to corrupt, and Lana’s no exception. Her new gifts have her breaking rules left and right. And she’s only just gotten started.
For her next trick: raising the dead. Now that she can pull soul matter directly from the Sea of Eternity to fuel her every desire, it should be a piece of devil’s food cake. But not everyone is thrilled about her divine aspirations, including her inner circle. As Lana’s feats become more and more challenging, she spirals down the morally gray rabbit hole. Will she be able to stop before it’s too late?

Lana Harvey is on top of the world—the underworld, that is. With the war fallout tapering off, she finds herself reduced back to mundane soul harvesting. It’s not a fancy gig, and the pay isn’t thrilling, but that hardly matters now that she’s shacking up with her retired demon consort, Beelzebub.
The afterlives have stabilized, and all seems well, until an average day on the job crosses Lana’s path with not one but two ghosts she thought were long gone. The startling revelation rips open old wounds and sends her on a quest to discover the truth behind her mentor’s mysterious death, and what it could mean for the fate of Eternity.

The promise of peace in Limbo City is threatened once again, but this time the terrorists have a more specific target in mind: Lana Harvey. The up and coming reaper thought passing her classes at the Reaper Academy was going to be her biggest challenge, but when a rebel demon sends her apartment up in flames, she realizes that her victories from the previous year haven’t gone so unnoticed after all…
To make matters worse, the Afterlife Council has taken notice of Lana, too. The Egyptian god Horus is blackmailing her into joining the Posy Unit so she can do an illegal side job for him, and Cindy Morningstar, Lucifer’s daughter, insists that she take a two-week training course with the devilishly tempting Beelzebub, much to her angelic boyfriend’s chagrin.
