Angie Abdou (born 1969) has a Ph.D. in English Literature from the University of Calgary. She is an Assistant Professor of Creative Writing at Athabasca University. BC BookWorld called Angie Abdou's short story collection, Anything Boys Can Do (2006), an “extraordinary literary debut” and the Victoria Times Colonist commended its original take on female sexuality. The Globe and Mail praised her first novel, The Bone Cage (2007), for its “beautiful writing” and The Quill & Quire called it “vivid, intense, and authentic.” The Kootenay Library Federation chose The Bone Cage as the official book for the inaugural “One Book One Kootenay” reading series. The Bone Cage is also taught in university-level Sport Lit courses across Canada and the United States. It was included on Canadian Literature‘s “All-Time Top Ten List of Best Canadian Sport Literature.” It was also a finalist for CBC’s Canada Reads 2011 and the 2012 MacEwan Book of the Year. Angie’s second novel, The Canterbury Trail (2011), is a dark comedy about mountain culture. It was a finalist for the Banff Mountain Book of the Year, and it won a 2012 IPPY, gold medal for Canada West. Her most recent novel - Between (2015) - is about Filipino nannies, working mothers, and swingers' resorts. Angie was born and raised in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. She has two children and one husband.
