About Angelina
Published Award Winning Author
Hi there! My name is Angelina Assanti and I am a humor writer. My first book, “The Lottery Heiress” came out in 2013. My second book, “Mark Taylor’s Checkered Past” came out in 2014. While I was writing the third book in that series, I was diagnosed with cancer and wrote my most-successful book to date, “Thank God I Got Cancer…I’m Not a Hypochondriac Anymore!” which won two national awards and was a finalist in the International Readers’ Favorite contest. It’s also an Amazon Bestseller.
My Story
How I Got Started
I am from a small town in Massachusetts. I have three books on the market. My latest one is a humorous book, based on my life when I was diagnosed with cancer in July of 2015. I kept a journal through the treatments and wrote about it after I went into remission. It has won two national awards and an international award. It is a funny book. “Thank God I Got Cancer…I’m Not a Hypochondriac Anymore!” is the name. It definitely shows my New England sense of humor. Filled with sarcasm and commentary about the whole cancer journey, it’s a must-read for anyone going through cancer. My other works are fiction. That’s what I prefer to write. I hated writing something true about myself – especially cancer. It’s not something I wanted to talk about. But the letters I get from my readers makes it worth it.
