Angie Hockman
Angie Hockman is a Goodreads Choice Award nominee and RWA Golden Heart Award winner.
Her professional background includes stints in eco-tourism, law, and education, however these days you can find her writing romantic stories, dreaming about her next travel adventure, or enjoying the outdoors with her family.
For several years, she had dabbled in writing: reading books on craft, taken a writing class here and there, and was chipping away at a half finished, half baked book for around four years, however without any internal determination or drive and no real goals to see it through until the end.
Then a switch inside flipped. She wanted to actually be a writer, and not just dabble in it anymore. Angie didn’t want to reflect on this time in her life later and wonder what would’ve happened had she tried writing. She wanted to throw all the determination and effort she could muster behind her dream of writing stories that others may want to read, stories which would hopefully make people laugh, smile, and swoon, and possibly even bring them some joy.
So Angie drastically shifted her own mindset and adopted a much disciplined approach to writing. She wasn’t just going to write when she felt like it; she wrote every single day. She pushed through writer’s block and made it a priority to get the words down, even after being exhausted from working her day job and caring for her cranky toddler and the very last thing she wanted to do was do any writing.
Ten months later, she finished her first book, which was a romantic suspense novel. This novel never was published, however it allowed Angie to hone her craft, landed her the first literary agent, and got her far enough along on the path to being published to fuel her desire to keep on going and give her the hopes that one day she may actually achieve her goals.
Then three years after that, the second novel that she finished, called “Shipped”, was published by Gallery Books, which is an imprint of Simon & Schuster. Long story short, she was a writer long before she was a published author.
Angie’s debut novel, called “Shipped”, released in the year 2021. Her work is from the romance genre.
“Shipped” is the first stand alone novel and was released in the year 2021. Following a workaholic marketing manager that is forced to go off on a cruise with her arch-nemesis when they are each up for the same promotion.
Henley Evans (a marketing manager), between taking night classes to get her MBA and her demanding day job at the cruise line, barely has any time for herself, let alone dating, friends, or family. However she gets shortlisted for the promotion of her dreams, all of her sacrifices seem to be worth it at last.
One problem with that. Graeme Crawford-Collins, who is the remote social media manager and the one guy that is the bane of her existence, is also up for this position. Even though they have never once met in person, their epic email battles are the stuff of office legend.
Their boss tasks both of them with drafting up a proposal on how to boost bookings in the Galapagos, with best proposal winning the promotion. There is just a single catch: they must go on a company cruise to the Galapagos Islands. Together. However when they meet each other on the ship, Henley is stunned to find that the real Graeme is nothing at all like she imagined. While they explore the islands together, she soon learns that the line between liking and loathing to be thinner than a postcard.
With her career aspirations within sight and a growing attraction to her competition, she starts questioning all of her life choices. Because what is the point of working all the time if you never even actually live?
This novel is charming as hell, romantic, witty, and layered with some real passion for eco-tourism and is a sparkling debut novel. Angie delivers a sunny and sweet getaway of a novel with quite the ambitious heroine that fans liked right off the bat and a hero who is a supportive dreamboat. She takes us on an exhilarating journey to the Galapagos Islands and right into the hearts of these characters, with sparkling prose and lush description. It is a rollicking romantic comedy with a conscience. Fans relished every single swoony second they spent reading this story.

What would you do if your dream guy turned out to actually be real?
Cass Walker, a law student, wakes up after she survived a car wreck, she gets flooded with memories of Devin, her boyfriend. Only problem is that Devin doesn’t actually exist. However everythingthat she remembers about the guy feels so very real. The texture of his favorite hand-me-down scarf, the exact shade of his coffee brown eyes, and down to the slightly crooked angle of his pinkie, which he broke after falling off of a trampoline in the third grade. She knows that he is just a figment of her imagination, with her doctors, family, and friends confirming it, however she still cannot quite get him out of her head.
So when she runs into the actual Devin one year later in some Cleveland flower shop, she is completely stunned. More surprising than that is the way that Devin believes her story, and they embark on a real life romance.
