Armida Nagy Rose, a retired US Federal regulatory analyst, has completed her third book of the Armida Trilogy, Even a Crow Knows How to Crack a Walnut in Clear Light”: An exhilarating historical novel that follows the life of Ana, whose conflict ignites when she is recruited by a corporate headhunter working for a visionary consortium eager to reshape the world, using a unique contribution Ana developed while at the military research facility, Area 51.

Author

Armida Nagy Rose lives in Florida. A US citizen born abroad, she graduated from the University of Texas at Austin, Texas, and most of her career was under the US Department of Treasury and later under the US Department of Homeland Security when the Bush-Cheney reorganized major law enforcement agencies under DHS.

Armida writes, “A very pregnant Myra Ceagan Tošić-Tabbot enjoyed symbols appropriated from other cultures and from ancient peoples. On this day, she rested on a large Star of David that she drew on the porcelain-tiled patio with a light blue chalk. It was not easy; with her balloon of a belly, the roundness
indicated she would have a baby girl if all went well. She briefly recalled her first child, a stillborn boy named Boy Willard on the birth certificate, and her first husband, who died during her pregnancy when his EA-6B Prowler crashed in Washington State in 1982.”

She continues writing, “When she [Myra] drew the Star of David, she first drew the triangle that represents the male energy; and when she drew the feminine form, she rested on it, thinking her unborn would definitely be a girl. She would name her Ana. As a symbol, the name Ana meant gracious and satisfying. Satisfied, Myra thought would be an agreeable name to nurture her child abundantly.”
