Bio

Editor/Publisher Mike Pingel created the Angelic Heaven newsletter, based on his favorite television show Charlie's Angels, after book publishers told him that there was not a fan base to buy his Charlie’s Angels book.

Pingel has provided the publishers wrong. With producing one of the most successful Internet sites and newsletter. The newsletter that started in 1995 as a small idea has grown to over 25,000 reads each on the world wide web.

Pingel did his undergraduate work at The American University in Washington, D.C., where he realized that he was meant to be an actor. Pingel has worked on such projects as: A Few Good Men, Dream West, and America’s Most Wanted.

Pingel resides in Los Angeles, where he keeps up with the Angels' careers, pursuing a publisher for his Angel book and continues his acting career. Until all his dreams come true, Pingel will have to stick with waiting tables! Anyone for coffee?

Pingel would also like to thank Farrah Fawcett, Jaclyn Smith, Kate Jackson, Shelley Hack, Tanya Roberts, Aaron Spelling, Leonard Goldberg, for allowing him to promote their careers. And a special thanks to angel, Cheryl Ladd, for all her support. She has made Angelic Heaven all worth it for him.
