Kirklees author who battled cancer set to release latest book

Angie Smith’s latest title ‘The Spy Who Chipped The China Teacup’ will be released on May 18.

The 55-year-old (pictured) suffered with breast cancer after being diagnosed in October 2013 but has now successfully battled the disease.

She has already released a successful trio of books - the CXVI Trilogy - and is now looking forward to her latest title, which is based mainly in Africa.

She said: “I went from thinking my life was over to not letting this thing get me down.

“My family of course was very important, but I needed something else.

“I’d always enjoyed writing and have an active imagination.

“I’m happier now than ever and every day feels special.”
