Angie Smith is a name shared by two very different writers, and this page brings both of them together. One writes candid Christian nonfiction and Bible studies. The other writes British crime and conspiracy thrillers. If the list feels like it changes lanes fast, that is why.

The American Angie Smith is a Bible teacher, speaker, and writer who lives in Tennessee. Her current author bio describes her as having a PhD in developmental psychology, and that fits the way she writes: she pays close attention to fear, grief, identity, and the quiet ways people try to hold themselves together. She is married to Todd Smith of Selah, lives in Franklin, teaches middle school English, and has spent years helping readers approach Scripture without turning it into homework.

Her writing life took shape in public. In 2008, she and Todd learned that their daughter Audrey would live only briefly after birth. Angie began sharing that season honestly, and the story later became I Will Carry You, a memoir that stays with grief, hope, and faith without pretending any of it is easy.

That same direct, conversational tone carries into books like What Women Fear, Mended, and Chasing God. She writes for readers who are sincere, a little worn out, and not interested in pretending they have everything sorted. In Seamless and Woven, she steps back to trace the Bible as one connected story, helping readers see how familiar people, promises, and events fit together from beginning to end. People who like her work tend to mention the same things: honesty, accessibility, and the feeling that big spiritual questions can be faced in plain English.

She also writes for children.

Books like Audrey Bunny and For Such a Time as This bring the same concerns into younger reading: worth, belonging, courage, and the lives of women in Scripture. Even when the audience changes, the questions stay familiar. What does it mean to be loved, to be known, and to trust God when life feels confusing?

The English Angie Smith comes from Doncaster and studied at Huddersfield University, where she earned a first-class honours degree in education and training. After a long career in adult education, training, and performance management, she stepped away from that work to pursue other projects. She also traveled extensively and worked on knowledge transfer partnerships before fiction took over.

Writing returned to her after breast cancer treatment in 2013. That difficult year rekindled a long-held desire to tell stories, and it led to the thrillers that begin with The Beginning of the End. From there, Secrets Broken and Desperate Measures build a larger arc around Detective Superintendent Greg Woods, Maria Barnes, murder investigations, and intelligence-service secrets. The Spy Who Chipped The China Teacup and Sex Lies and Swimming Naked lean even harder into espionage, corruption, and dangerous alliances. She now lives in West Yorkshire with her husband and youngest son, and readers who pick up this side of Angie Smith can expect brisk pacing, hidden motives, and very few easy answers.

So the common thread here is not genre, but the name on the cover.
