Brooklyn, N.Y.— October, 15, 2020—After years in the making, Angel Fire by Patricia Carragon is now a reality. Ms. Carragon thanks Alien Buddha Press and copy editor, Cindy Hochman of “100 Proof” Copyediting Services, for believing in her debut novel’s value. Angel Fire is a novel, inspired by Ms. Carragon’s personal experiences and nightmares, that delves into the lives of three women protagonists, Sarah Kahn, Kate Robbins, and Dana Chu, living and working in New York City during the ’90s through the post- 9/11 world and the Obama election. The book is comprised of over 57,000 words, broken down into twenty-one chapters and an epilogue. The narrative contains elements of magic realism/ urban fantasy, and beyond the wry humor, there are bizarre twists involving erotic dreams, curses, cats, and paranormal visitations from a precocious ten-year-old girl named Allie, turning this story into a psychological thriller.

Praise for Angel Fire:

Peter Marra, poetry editor at Literary Orphans, sums it up. “. . . In Angel Fire, her debut novel, Patricia Carragon expertly crafts a tale that captures the essence of what life was like in the beginning of the new millennium. What starts out as a drama soon morphs into a supernatural thriller—an emotional roller coaster populated with fantastic characters who will stay with you for a long time. Angel Fire will keep you riveted until the last page.”

From Thaddeus Rutkowski, author of Tricks of Light (great weather for MEDIA), “Sex and the City meets Stephen King in this tale of professional women making their way in contemporary New York. . . Through twists and turns, and the disaster of 9/11, the stakes rise for all of the heroines, and we follow their lives with growing apprehension as we discover their fates. Carragon gives us a sharp-edged picture of people we see every day, but whose inner demons are rarely revealed.”
