Angelique Migliore is a by-product of PBS’s television show Big Blue Marble. From avery early age, she watched and absorbed people from around the world live daily lives muchdifferent from hers and eating the most interesting dishes ever. Heck, there were differentanimals all over the place! An immediate appreciation and love of other peoples, cultures,languages, and foods (and later religions) made her feel like a citizen of a big, beautifulworld—not just one country.The seed planted by Big Blue Marble grew in Angelique’s heart to size of a giantWeeping Willow. Much to her mother’s dismay, “strangers” have never scared her; theyintrigued her. She became a linguist, she got a BA in hospitality, and eventually an MA inReligious Studies. Today she writes stories of UNIVERSAL LOVE and TIMELESS ROMANCEwhere everyone is respected, loved, and gets a Happily Ever After or, at the very least, a HappyFor Now.Decades later, Angelique still has the same pen-pal she exchanged post cards with on BigBlue Marble. “MAFE” is to this day, her oldest friend.
