About
Hi everyone! I am so glad you are here. I grew up in a small town in Wyoming. I moved to Southern California during my freshman year of High School. It is there I met my wife. Yes, we are high school sweethearts. We were in the band together and went to youth group together in our high school years. We started officially dating November 15th.
After high school I joined the military. We got married shortly there after and have enjoyed living around the world. We have been married for over 30 years and still love living life together. My wife is a constant source of inspiration for my poetry.
I have published four poetry books, 7 plays, and one novel is almost ready to be released. Click on the book pages and check them out.
1. When did you start writing?
I started writing when I was in 9th grade. My first poem I wrote was published in my church's newsletter. You can find that poem, "I Am" in my book, "Timeless Poetry." I've also written Romantasy, Sci-fi and Romance novels. I'm about to publish the second book in a 3-book corporate espionage series.
Marshall's FAQs
2. What drew you in to start writing?
I don't know that any one thing drew me into the world of poetry. I think maybe it was just meant to be. I started writing and I loved it.
3. Who are your favorite poets?
That is so hard to answer. It kind of depends on my mood. I love Shakespeare, Wilde, Poe, and Angelou. But I find many indie published authors to be so good too. It is important to read different authors and different genres as well.
4. Speaking of that, what other genre do you read?
I'm not sure that I read particular genres. I like to read fiction. My two favorite authors are Michael Crichton and Robin Cook most. I like the medical thriller, as long as it's not too scary. My favorite Michael Crichton books are Jurassic Park, Prey, and Sphere.
5. Of what book of yours are you the most proud?
I think right now, "Love Poetry From My Heart" is my favorite. Although my play, "The Castle Wall" is really good too. The 4S Project is amazing. It's a 7-book series that is pretty cool. "The Magic Table" is a really cool Romantasy too.
6. How many more books are you going to publish?
I have at least one more romance poetry book coming. But I'd be willing to bet there will be more than that in the future. "The Castle Wall' book 2 just came out. I plan on that story being a trilogy, and then I have some back stories in my mind. I also have 2 more planned in the Broken Glass series, one of which is about to be released. "The Magic Table" a romantasy just came out as. I plan on releasing a Sci-Fi romance book, "In Love with an Android" in July. I'm in the first draft stage of another romance novel, "Not A Chance Renaissance." So I guess the short answer would be, I have 3 coming out soon and at least 4 (or more) planned.
7. Do you have a newsletter? If so, how can I subscribe?
Yes! The newsletter is live and comes out the 10th of every month. To sing up, just send me an email at - marshall@marshallarmstrong.com and put "All in" in the subject line. I'll get you added right away!
8. Of the books you recently ppublished, what's your favorite?
I think the new Sci-fi romance "In Love with an Android" is my favorite. Did I say it omes out July 10th? Seriously, it is a really good book. I also like the romantasy I wrote, "The Magic Table." It has a bit of a mystery "Who-done-it" in it too.
9. Do you answer every email you get?
Yes, I sure do. Even if it just says, "All in," I answer it. I like to stay connected to the readers and I feel like a personal email is so much better than just a robotic response to a "Subscribe" button.
10. When will your "Castle Wall," and "Broken Glass," series be done?
I hope to have them done by early 2028. Book 3 in each series is almost outlined. I'll give more updates as the time gets closer.
