Writing career

Angela Marsons is from Brierley Hill in the West Midlands and is a former security guard at the Merry Hill Shopping Centre. Having been rejected by numerous publishers over 25 years, she released three books in her crime series in 2015 under digital publisher Bookouture. Her books all have a Black Country setting, but the author says "I never write about a set group of people or anyone particular I know, all my characters are make believe." The principal character in the crime series is Detective Kim Stone. The success of the digitally-published Kim Stone books resulted in a print deal with publisher Bonnier Publishing Fiction.^[3] Marsons is signed to Bookouture for a total of 16 books in the Kim Stone series.^[4] In 2020, Marsons signed a deal with Bookoture for an extra 12 books in the Kim Stone series, bringing the total to 28.
