Richard Armstrong

Richard Armstrong's first book, LEAVING THE NEST (co-authored with his mother, Dorinne Armstrong) was published by William Morrow & Co. in 1986 and had five printings. His second book, THE NEXT HURRAH, was published by Morrow in 1988. It was praised by The Los Angeles Times as 'captivating and complete' and by Kirkus Reviews as 'one of the best books on the ramifications of the electronic political process since Joe McGinniss's 'The Selling of a President.' Psychology Today called it 'as readable as it is disquieting.' His first novel, GOD DOESN'T SHOOT CRAPS, was published by Sourcebooks in 2006 and optioned for film by the producers of the Broadway show "Xanadu." His latest novel, THE DON CON, will be released by Linden/Pace in April of 2019. A 1974 graduate of Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota (Art History), he lives in Washington, DC with his wife Sharon and his dachshund, 'Stardust.'
