Evangaline wrote her first short story at the age of 12. She has spent much of her adult life writing papers for college professors. She rekindled her love for storytelling several years later when she published her first book chronicling her family's journey to find a missing person.
Evangaline loves crafting adventures that honor her faith and love of Jesus. Faith, hope, and love within suffering are common themes in her writing. Her main characters often face and overcome overwhelming odds.
She grew up reading Bible stories with her grandpa and always loved supernatural tales. Evangaline combines her love of fantasy with her Christian faith. She draws upon the magic and mystery of the Bible to tell modern stories that engage the reader with biblical truths and Christian themes.
She currently lives in Texas with her husband, daughter, dog, and a flock of chickens.

Sacred Vengeance is a work of fiction in the fantasy and action subgenres. It is suitable for the general reading audience and was penned by author Evangaline Pierce. The book follows Alle Vengega, a woman with a happy family and an idyllic life whose world falls apart after visiting a haunted bridge. Following the loss of her husband, Alle finds that her daughter Lani has fallen victim to a demon attack, and only the man claiming to be her guardian angel has the answers to save Lani from the fate that awaits her. But her mysterious angel has secrets of his own, and the path to saving Lani will not only require her to trust him but also for Alle to understand and master who she truly is.
The themes at play in this tale of a mother struggling to overcome grief and save her daughter are biblical in scale, and there's a very interesting discussion about Alle’s true nature and interference with the celestial balance. I found author Evangaline Pierce’s descriptive writing to be wonderfully vivid and well-practiced, with the perfect level of detail found to bring her vision of the world to life, but also to allow just the right gaps for the reader’s own imagination to complete it. Every place that Alle visited was one I could imagine perfectly, and every person she met came to life on the page, thanks to the author’s wonderful prose. Overall, Sacred Vengeance is a powerful story about love and the acts of devotion that it drives us to do, and I recommend it highly to all readers.
