Angela is a West Virginia-born writer, poet, and photographer with a deep love for her home state and the stories it holds. Passionate about capturing life—whether through words or a camera lens—she explores the raw, the dark, and the beautifully unfiltered. As a mother to a brilliant daughter and a spoiled cat, she balances creativity with chaos, always seeking meaning in the details. As a co-host of The Black Curtain Club, she brings sharp wit, bold opinions, and just the right amount of mayhem to the mic. When she’s not writing, shooting photos, or dissecting the human experience, you can find her lost in a book, among nature in the forests of West Virginia, deeply listening to music, or embracing the art of controlled rebellion.

Originally from the untamed wilderness of Oklahoma, Becca is the token cryptid of the group. Seemingly awake at all hours of the night, she knows a little about everything and a LOT about nothing. Keeper of secrets and lord of the files, she seems to lurk around every corner waiting for her opportunity to pounce with dazzling nuggets of information you didn’t know you needed.

Protector in Chief | Seizure Slayer | Coyote Conqueror | Certified Goodest of Gourls

Meet Steil — Kyle’s loyal ride-or-die and full-time four-legged bodyguard. When she’s not expertly handling seizure response duties like a boss, she’s out there keeping the world (and the backyard) safe from rogue coyotes and suspicious squirrels.

With nerves of steel and a heart of gold, Steil combines life-saving instincts with tail-wagging charm. She doesn’t wear a cape (yet), but don’t let that fool you — this pupper is on a mission, and failure is not an option.

Pet her only if you’ve earned the privilege.
