About MJ Santangelo

MJ Santangelo has always been an avid reader and wrote poems for a short period of time in her
late teens. Then life happened, college, marriage and kids, it wouldn't be until her early thirties
when she was able to pick up the pen again, and begin writing her first novella. She has yet to
put the pen down.
She lives in Connecticut with her husband, two sons and her pug named Boo. In 2011 when her
mom's chronic illnesses along with new diagnoses became too much for her mom to manage on
her own MJ became her primary caregiver. MJ's mom lived with her and her family for the last
five years of her life.
When MJ is not writing you can find her reading, cleaning, cooking or driving somebody
somewhere and listening to music while she does it all.
MJ is the author of multiple contemporary romance books that focus on strong women living life
and finding love sometimes when they least expect it.
She is also the author behind the Caregiver Collection which includes both non-fiction and
fiction books. All have the common themes of caregiving, chronic illness, end of life care and
grief.
MJ's short stories include a historical fiction about her experiences on September 11, 2001 and a
party planning guide.

Puppy Love (Falls Village Collection Book 2) May 18, 2020

by MJ Santangelo

( 5 )

$2.99

Puppy Love
Jenny Collins
My college life sucks, my non-existent love-life sucks and I'm tired of being the naïve little sister. My four older siblings are creating their dream lives with the ones they love, and I'm left staring longingly at their robust social media pages. I need change. I need to find who I am and what I want in life. I thought by bringing Beast, my chihuahua pug mix, with me to college that it would improve my shitty disposition; it did until my heartless roommate ratted me out for having
“contraband” living in the dorms with me. Maybe I need to leave, hit the road to start again somewhere new.
Somewhere like Falls Village.
Lucas Hart
My grandfather is dead, our family business, is failing, and my high-school sweetheart — now ex-fiancée — has left me. She claims that I’m depressed, and she ‘can’t deal’ with my melancholy mood any more. My life is falling apart, I mean, how else should I react? I need change. I need to start over. If I restart my life, I’ll feel more like me again. I need to ditch this place and start again somewhere new.
Somewhere like Falls Village.

Puppy Love is the second book to release in the Falls Village Collection. Kitty Berry’s The Rest of Forever is the first in the collection. This is a collection from authors of RomantiConn.

Like Yesterday Jan 3, 2021

There are some major world events in life that affect us deeper than others. These events often catch us off guard, cause change in the world or within us and are imprinted on our brain so strongly that we can remember exactly where we were and what we were doing when the event happened or when we heard that the event occurred.
It seems as if each decade has these events. In the 1960s, for some people that event was the day Kennedy was shot or when Martin Luther King Jr. gave his ‘I Had a Dream Speech’. In the 1970s, many can recall what they were doing when Nixon denied involvement in the Watergate scandal with the notorious words, “I am not a crook”. In the 1980s, some people remember when the Berlin Wall fell. Or in the 1990s when they learned Princess Diana was killed in a car crash.
For me, that major world event was September 11, 2001, when the World Trade Center Twin Towers were attacked. No matter how long it has been since this event occurred, it is ingrained in my mental history. I was only a couple of blocks away when the attacks happened, attending my first year of college at Pace University in lower Manhattan.
In this short story I tell my account of what I experienced in the days leading up to September 11th, the day itself, and the days that followed.
This is my answer to where were you on September 11, 2001?

Love Always : A book of Poetry Jun 18, 2020

by MJ Santangelo

$1.99

Love Always:
This twenty-eight poem collection is about what I experienced in the few weeks leading up to my mom’s passing and the first six months after her death in July of 2019. Writing these poems became part of the grieving process for me.
My hope is that the poems in this book help you feel a little less alone on your journey with grief. I have learned that grief is a tricky beast that presents itself in a variety of ways and is different for every person. Even though we all grieve differently we are alike in the hurt that we experience is profound and valid. Talking to people about my grief made me realize I am not alone and that gives me comfort on the most uncomfortable days.
