Goodreads Disclaimers:

I know there are mixed feelings about authors' presence on goodreads. I've been a reviewer, and I know it can be surprising to have an author enter the room on feedback, but overall, I liked that. I also enjoy reading reviews of my books. I comment on some. I know my books won't be for everyone, so it's safe to be honest without fear of Authorzilla (though if you can manage respectful, that's nice).

I don't post

The Return to Full-time Other-work

Well, I've been at a new job for a year and a half, and it's definitely cutting into my writing and appearance time. It's nice to see libraries still ordering my books and to hear from readers now and then!

I still hope to return to finish my open series', but I am sorry that changes in my circumstances meant I ended up pivoting into a salary job.

I will be taking down my books for international sit

Quotes by Angela Armstrong  (?)

“In a flare of clarity, Tama knew two things irrevocably: one – he had just let the girl he’d been waiting for since forever walk out of his store, and two – he hadn’t done enough to make sure she came back.”
Angela Armstrong, Missive

“Boring down through the haul from Iso didn’t just take vision, it took grit.”
Angela Armstrong, Salvage

“There were four types of borers; those who dug for treasures to sell via the city’s few stores, those who dug to on-sell from home-run operations, those who deconstructed and sold new creations, and the fourth – those who dug for themselves. Geronimo was all of these, but most of all, the last one. Not in the way most people would think.”
Angela Armstrong, Salvage

“And what of her captors? Did they really think her so frail and helpless that darkness, some rope, and a perversion of blacksmithery would be sufficient to hold the daughter of Pabla la Presica and Alexact?”
Angela Armstrong, The Unflinching Ash

“What is a witch, but a woman who understood something a man did not?”
Angela Armstrong, The Unflinching Ash

“Grete wore caution like a crown. Although Ash and Grete were both born from the same Mapa and Papal, the sisters were antipodean enchantresses. To Ash the Mysteries had dealt passion, grit and tireless intent, which she carried like a loaded quiver on her strong, lithe frame. Grete’s appeal was no less, but instead came by way of caution, calm and censure – an attractive safe harbour expressed in her soft edges and soft speech. Both young women had thick dark hair and the blessing of symmetry on their side. Both could sneak.”
Angela Armstrong, The Unflinching Ash

“The Unflinching Ash
Captivates enchants ensnares
Makes gulls of us all”
Angela Armstrong, The Unflinching Ash

“Ash clasped her hands in front of her, tipped her head at 45 degrees, and drew infinity with her irises. 'Five. Neither of us appears to have had word from God, so I’m forced to conclude He or She is allowing free will to reign – a gift, wouldn’t you agree?”
Angela Armstrong, The Unflinching Ash
