Author Biography

Angela Fincham is a celebrated children’s book author from the beautiful state of Virginia, known for her heartfelt stories and imaginative storytelling. A proud mother of three sons, Angela draws deeply from her own experiences, creating books that connect with kids and spark a love of reading.

Her writing journey began in 2014 with the debut of Not Even A. Mouse, a Christmas story that quickly won over young readers — until the original publisher unexpectedly closed in 2017. But Angela didn’t stop there. Inspired by her youngest son’s growing interest in books (and his two beloved dogs), she started self-publishing fun, beginner-friendly stories that reignited her own passion for children’s literature.

Since republishing Not Even A. Mouse in 2021, Angela has continued to grow her catalog with unique and engaging titles like Hike & Seek, I AM – Positive Affirmations for Kids, Caution: This Book is Full of Poop, A Dandelion Named Daisy, A Seashell’s Journey, and Are You Scared Yet? Her books are known for blending humor, heart, and a sense of adventure — becoming favorites in homes, classrooms, and bedtime routines across the country.

Angela’s work isn’t just about entertaining kids — it’s about empowering them to explore, imagine, and see the magic in everyday life. She’s more than an author; she’s a storyteller who understands the power of words to inspire young minds.

Alexander Mouse wants to have the best Christmas. The stockings are hung on the Christmas tree, the presents are set, and there is enough food and decorations for the festive season, yet Alexander feels unfulfilled. He feels something is missing. He doesn’t feel like he is caught up in the excitement of Christmas. What could be the reason for this? By opening his eyes to reveal what he needs to know, he encounters a personality that fills a void in his heart and changes his life forever. What could this thing be? Who did he meet? Find out in Not Even A. Mouse by Angela Fincham Lowe and illustrated by Sherry Marie. It's a story that opens us to a revelation of what it means to be in the Christmas spirit.

Angela Fincham Lowe uses the first-person point of view conversationally, giving us a feeling of active participation in the events. Coupled with the beautiful illustrations that help us better grasp the story, it teaches profound lessons with eternal relevance. It is essential to understand that the joy of the festive season doesn’t lie in the preparations or the ceremonies surrounding them but in understanding the season's true meaning. It helps one to celebrate with a purpose. Not Even A. Mouse is sure to impact children, as it has new words that they can learn and teaches excellent lessons. This is a great story!

This certainly was a nice surprise! I love classics and I think it can be very tricky to write a good story with a twist, but this is a great example of that. I love how the mouse explains the situation. Very cute and great for perspectives.

This is an adorable book about the little mouse in the poem ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas. He was actually there and wants to tell us what he really saw. In this magical tale we learn about a conversation he had with Santa, who told him about the real meaning of Christmas, and that it is not all about decorations, lights and gifts. This book also has very cute illustrations and will delight children who want to learn all about what Christmas is really about.

This is going to be a classic to be read every year!
