Angela Fincham Lowe is an American children's book author who lives in her hometown of Louisa, VA. She's the mother of three sons, Hunter, Ethan and Jakob. Angela published her first children's book, Not Even A. Mouse, in 2014; unfortunately the publisher went out of business in 2017 and her book was no longer available. She republished this book in September of 2022.
In 2021, her youngest son was learning to read but he wasn't interested in the books being sent home for him to read. Angela began to self-publish some easy-reader books about him and his dogs to get her son interested in reading...it worked and he would practice reading his mom's books to the dogs and anyone else who would listen.
