Before writing books, Angela studied English and Film at the University of Otago, taught full-time in schools, owned an art gallery, and reviewed books for trade publishers. She lives with her husband Haki in Northland, New Zealand, where she devotes her non-writing hours to home-schooling three chatty daughters who have inherited a fierce love of words from their mother.

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

"Lovely story. This book has a very different narrative from anything I've read before. It was nice to read about a loving, intact family even if they are living an unusual lifestyle. It was , however, not what I was expecting at all. The synopsis hin" Read more of this review »

Quotes by Angela Armstrong  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Rational Self was screaming, “This is crazy! Abort before she lets you down easy!” But Hopeful Tama wanted to go all in; wanted to trust what he was feeling and see the wooing through. Hopeful Tama won.”
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
