My Name Is Angela
MAGO HUANG
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Harry Lang was born in a suburb of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, back when Eisenhower was president and no one had visited space. One of his earliest memories is watching John Glenn being strapped into a Mercury capsule on TV; he has lived in the future ever since. Generous doses of Star Trek, Ray Bradbury and the rest of the usual suspects sparked a lifelong interest in science fiction.
Writing has long been part of a broad resume of artistic interests; decades of devoted effort have produced a truly impressive collection of rejections. It wasn’t until his first acceptance by the online publication Bewildering Stories that Harry realized he might not be crazy after all. “My Name Is Angela” is his first professional sale.
When not actually writing or attending to the myriad necessities of life here on Earth, Harry enjoys teaching creative writing to small groups of home-schooled students.
Harry graduated from Philadelphia College of Art with a BFA in painting in 1981. He is currently a review editor for Bewildering Stories. He lives in Prospect Park, Pennsylvania, with his brilliant wife and six brilliant kids and works as a technical designer for a gargantuan aerospace corporation.
ABOUT THE ILLUSTRATOR
“I am lucky to exist in a world where magical things happen; it is a world of my own invention.” Mago Huang’s art is full of imagination and storytelling, and creating is the way she influences the world around her. In her junior year of high school, she won an honorable achievement award in the Nationwide Lucerne Art contest by painting a life-size musical cow. The finished artwork has been displayed in the Bellevue Art Museum and was in the city newspaper. By winning the contest, she gained the confidence to bring her art to the next level. She created little art pieces to donate to the families supported by the organization Voices of September 11th. She designed and painted with the intention of bringing art and hope into people’s lives. “I hope they know and feel that they and their struggles have not been forgotten,” she says.
She attends California College of the Arts studying illustration. There she is improving her technical and creative thinking skills. Her dream is to illustrate children’s books and art magazines or create illustrations people will see in their daily lives. She works quietly, yet with each stroke of the brush or pencil, she creates harmony, peace and interest that might bring some change to a world that is always in a rush. “If everyone spends a little time looking at a piece of art, they too can imagine a magical world.”
