About the author

Reviews on my new release MADicine, the second Alban Bane Thriller!

"Detective Alban Bane's second outing takes a satirical look at genetics research companies, zombie films and more....Armstrong’s action-packed second novel.”—Publisher’s Weekly

“A cantakerous detective, Alban Bane ... a touch of the hit TV series House ... Bane adds a delightfully sarcastic tone to the action ... keeps us chuckling.” —Booklist

“Amusing and entertaining ... recommended for all libraries.”—Libaray Journal

“Suspenseful and rich with dark humor ... in the thriller tradition of Weisman and Connolly.”—ForeWord

“A super sleuth.”—Kirkus

On The Last Troubadour -

"Brilliance in which in which Armstrong blends comedy, parody, and adventure in genuinely innovative ways. An author of abundant talent. An author to watch." --David Pitt, Booklist Magazine

“Tales about the Inquisition are not supposed to be amusing and entertaining, but Armstrong (The Game) manages to make them just that while keeping historical integrity.." Library Journal

"If I didn't know better, I'd say that Derek Armstrong wrote his novel, The Last Troubadour – Song of Montségur, purely for my own amusement and pleasure. With wit, wisdom (and more than an occasional wink) he has written a novel that panders to nearly every one of my cultural, spiritual, and historical prejudices. Set in thirteen century France – that hotbed heroes, heroines, and heresy – it's a wide-screen Technicolor adventure worthy of a full Errol Flynn treatment… an adventure for spiritual grownups that educates as much as it delights. I can't wait for the next in the series."

Lon Milo DuQuette – best-selling Author of Accidental Christ

"Derek Armstrong is good."
