Angelina Avery is the pen name of USA Today bestselling and multi-award-winning author C. J. Anaya.

Anaya and her sweet romantic comedies of the billionaire variety under the pen name Cynthia Savage. She holds an AA in Criminal Justice, a BA in Communication, and an MA in Publishing. When she isn't writing, she's coaching other authors on the book production process and best paths for publishing and marketing their books.
