I am thrilled to announce that my debut novel, Out Front the Following Sea, has been picked up for publication in hardcover, paperback, ebook, and audiobook for a spring 2022 release from Regal House Publishing. Out Front the Following Sea is a literary historical of 1689 Connecticut Colony during King William’s War between French and English settlers, from the viewpoint of a young couple—one French and one English—torn apart by warring sides, adultery, and treason, and thrown in with an unruly cast of Quakers, Pequot Indians, soldiers, witch hunters, and highwaymen.

My debut novel, OUT FRONT THE FOLLOWING SEA (forthcoming from Regal House in spring 2022), has made the longlist for the Chaucer Book Award (for pre-1750s historical fiction).

My third novel, The Only Way to Cheat a Hangman (forthcoming ~2024), about wagon trains and the decline of the Gold Rush in Sacramento Valley, was longlisted for the 2021 Laramie Book Award for Americana Fiction.

Out Front the Following Sea was reviewed by Alex Carrigan on Quail Bell Magazine.

“… [A]bsolutely fascinating. … Out Front the Following Sea is like a lighthouse on the coastline: meticulously built and designed, but also illuminates so much to carefully draw the reader in. Angstman’s research and prose makes Ruth’s story one that stands out for its vividness and relatability, and the plot is exciting enough that the reader will surely want to see the next course set. By drawing from the history of New England-set historical fiction, Out Front the Following Sea elevates and reignites the passion for these kinds of stories, and will hopefully inspire others to set sail into these uncharted waters.”
