A prolific author, Angela Lee Amichia nee Floyd began writing at an early age. At 13, a new typewriter from her mother sparked a completed book of short vignettes. Born and raised in a small town in Georgia, Angela graduated from Hawkinsville High School in 1984.

Her professional working career began at a local Pulaski County bank in 1986. She then moved to Atlanta in 1989, got married and relocated to Marietta Georgia. A 1991 poem Paradise published in a volume composed by Poetry.com further fueled her desire to see more of her work in print.

In the late 1990s, Amichia published Dear Diary, the first installment of her racy urban series. Dear Diary was followed by Dear Bitch, Dear Doctor, and Dear Mama. All are available under the pseudonym of Asquared at lulu.com. Dear God, Dear Career and Dear Life will follow shortly.

Postcards from Africa was published in 2002 after a trip to Ghana with her husband. A second trip to Africa took place in 2008 during Barak Obama's first presidential campaign. Inspired, Amichia penned Ghetto Poetry in Motion-How Do We Break the Cycle,  which was published June 2014. She dedicated her musings to the memory of Maya Angelou, her kindred mentor.

After twenty years of marriage, Amichia graduated Mercer University cum laude in 2010 with a Bachelor of Business Administration. She celebrated both events with another published book of poetry, How Does a Marriage Withstand? A minor degree in Human Services along with over twenty-five years of experience in the customer service industry led to the 2012 fictional Cliques.  Both are listed on amazon.com.

The long-term sickness of her beloved mother inspired research of their surname Powers, which culminated into Amichia's first nonfiction bock, The Powers To Be. Another nonfiction book will follow shortly.
