As she is a publisher’s daughter, Angie Sage did not find any difficulty in enabling her books to reach out to readers throughout the world. The publishing thing kind of worked very smoothly for her. Sage spent her earlier days growing up in Thames Valley, London. Her father used to encourage her to take up reading and writing when she was small. He used to bring her blank paper books for writing and drawing whatever came to her mind. The initial interest of Sage was to make a career in the field of medicine. But, she ended up enrolling herself in a course of Graphic Design & Illustration at the Leicester Art School in England. This helped her a lot in illustrating books. Following her initial works of illustration, author Sage shifted to the world of writing. She was busy in illustrating the children’s board books between 1998 and 2002. The first book that she wrote is called Magyk and this book marked the beginning of the series of Septimus Head. And with the success of the books of this series, Sage took a step up in her literary career and started developing her second series. Currently, she is trying to develop a new series and is working to get the first book out for publication as soon as possible. The debut book of the Araminta Spookie series written by author Anglie Sage is entitled ‘My Haunted House’.
