About the author

C. W. Armstrong is a novelist and short story author who writes about ordinary people caught in extraordinary circumstances. His work blends mystery, adventure, and the supernatural, exploring the thin space between what is seen and what is believed.

He is the author of The Discovery, a young adult novel about two siblings whose hidden connection unlocks dangerous abilities and a secret that others will do anything to control. His other works include The Midnight Current, a Caribbean adventure filled with sunken maps, lost loyalties, and the ghosts of the sea, and Sanctuary of Shadows, a collection of eerie short stories inspired by real places and forgotten legends.

A former Marine and professional chef, Armstrong spent years working in kitchens and teaching the craft before turning full-time to fiction. His stories are shaped by travel, history, and the human need to understand the unknown.

He lives in Colorado with his wife and two daughters, writing from the mountains but often dreaming of the ocean.
