About the Author
Princeton, a small Southern town in western Kentucky, and growing up "between the tracks" shaped Darryl Armstrong before he conquered boardrooms and government agencies. Between his Kentucky roots and the shores at Tybee Island, Georgia, he and his wife, Kay, built their lives, and for thirty years operated L. Darryl ARMSTRONG and Associates Behavioral Public Relations LLC. The firm provides consultations and trains professionals in the art of Collaborative Informed Consent.
Darryl Armstrong's debut collection traverses the extraordinary hiding in plain sight: a wingless angel navigating earthly terrain, a supposedly cursed cat becoming an unlikely hero, children whose laughter and tears mirror our own deepest emotions. Armstrong's South comes alive when Jesus appears in the bakery aisle of Publix, when his Mom invents the slow cooker and stirs magic, when his unborn daughter visits at the edge of his perception. These stories map the geography of hearts – eccentric, Southern, broken, and mended – with the precision of someone who knows this territory by heart.
“A fellow writer once told me that if you weren't making your readers laugh or cry, you weren't doing your job. Well, Armstrong’s BETWEEN THE TRACKS certainly did this. He can let us see the world through the eyes of a child or make us want to hug our dogs while we still can. His chapters about characters he has known remind me of flipping through a family album with an old friend, where every picture tells a story. So, take your time with this book, and let each story sink in as they are meant to.” – Jim Mize, author of A Creek Trickles Through It: A Collection of Fly-Fishing Humor, and The Jon Boat Years
