About the Author
Assanti, Angelina: - Angelina is from a small town in Massachusetts. Growing up in New England gave her an appreciation for sarcasm. She was a radio personality then transitioned to stand-up comedy but she found her real passion when she penned her funny debut novel called "The Lottery Heiress." With the success of that first novel, she went to work on the follow-up, "Mark Taylor's Checkered Past" which went on to win a President's Award in Humor from the Florida Authors and Publishers Association. She felt legitimized as a writer being granted access to Betty Ford to do the research for that novel. In the middle of the third book in that series, Angelina found out she had cancer. After radical surgery, radiation treatments and some rounds of chemo later, she decided to write her first non-fiction book entitled, "Thank God I Got Cancer...I'm Not a Hypochondriac Anymore!" This book was hailed by Reader's Favorites who said, "Assanti's prose is beautiful and she knows how to connect with readers through her masterful use of humor." The book has also won two President's Awards from the Florida Authors and Publishers Association. Now she asked to speak at various events to warn people about getting their annual check-ups. Her life was saved because of early detection so now she speaks about that as well as prevention.
