THE AUTHOR'S CORNER
THE AUTHOR'S CORNER
Angela Atienza, also known as DyslexicParanoia, is a cross-genre Filipino-American author, ghostwriter, and illustrator who writes from quiet spaces, where emotions simmer, relationships get wonderfully messy, and truths tend to arrive fashionably late. She writes everything from lighthearted romance to dark thrillers, horror, and fantasy, as well as the occasional story that refuses to fit neatly into any box. Her work explores the invisible weight of longing, the resilience of love, and the odd beauty tucked inside everyday moments.
A lifelong homebody and seasoned daydreamer, Angela finds her muse in solitude, nostalgic memories, and the occasional existential detour. When she’s not writing, she’s probably wrapped in a blanket, coffee in hand, looking productive while mentally auditioning characters for her next plot twist.
