As A MAP OF HER OWN's first book birthday nears, I am honored to receive this quote from historian Bradley Richardson. Truth: you never know when you come across a somewhat hidden academic document just what may come from it! dedemontgomery.com/a-map-of-her... #writingcommunity #dualtimelinefiction
Sometimes you are surprised by a book review that stuns you in its perceptiveness. This one is long…and, to me, truly heartening. Thank you readers. dedemontgomery.com/a-map-of-her... #writingcommunity #books #dualtimeline

Huge thank you to Lake Oswego Public Library for hosting me last night, and to those who attended in person and virtually. I too appreciate to have had it live-streamed and recorded. Here’s the recording if you are curious. www.youtube.com/live/NE3F-Vo... #booktalks #dualtimeline #writingcommunity

Making it BIG as an Author
Now that I have your attention, I’m sorry to burst your bubble. I am not here to share fine secrets about blowing your book or your bank account out of the water. Rather to tease into this id…

Sent by a reader as spotted at the Astoria Public Library. I love libraries. Have you read A MAP OF HER OWN yet? dedemontgomery.com/a-map-of-her... #litfic #dualtimeline #writingcommunity
Sure, authors want more reviews. But sometimes a message means more than any review ever could. This is one of them, from Mom's first and oldest friend. ❤ How fortunate I was to be able to weave Mom’s writing about her life with my own words, as if a conversation. #memoir #writingcommunity
A fabulous day in Astoria. Thanks the celebration partners. And yes, I posted a blog which includes my honorable mention writing entry. Also - yes, I know I'm no movie making pro but always have fun doing so - see it all at dede montgomery dot com. #astoriacolumn #CentennialCelebration

Are you a tea drinker? Little did I know the wrinkle that would come along with my tea drinking when I began to draft this blog. Check it out at dedemontgomery.com/2026/06/02/t... #tea #wellbeing #writingcommunity

“I don’t know about you, but I’ve been feeling a bit down lately. Given the state of so much in our world – war, politics, inflation – it’s no surprise. Add our aging or health challenges, and it feels like a lot...." dedemontgomery.com/2026/05/13/t... #writingcommunity #wellbeing #booksky
Today's blog. I hope you check it out at dedemontgomery.com. Be good to yourself. I think taking bits of time away from "all of that" is equally important for our souls right now, and that includes getting immersed in a book. #bluesky #writingcommunity #steamboats #books #pacificnorthwest
If you missed it, you can still catch my just over an hour interview on KBOO Community Radio's Jonesy Hour. It was so fun talking all things Oregon, Columbia River, Astoria, (industrial hygiene!), writing, publishing. kboo.org/media/133130... #pdx #kboo #writingcommunity #books
Radio lovers - I'm excited to be interviewed by Ken Jones for KBOO's Jonesy Hour tomorrow at 10:30 AM. You can also stream it after the show. kboo.org/media/133130... kboo.org/media/133130... #writingcommunity #PNW #stories
Multnomah County friends. Been curious about A MAP OF HER OWN but didn’t want to buy a copy? It’s National Library Week AND you are in luck as I was just advised that Multnomah County library system now has, not one….but FIVE copies of A MAP OF HER OWN.#libraries #writingcommunity #booksky #PNW
Okay maritime fans. Huge thanks to Dan Butler for addressing all those things I really don't know about River and Bar Pilots. dedemontgomery.com/2026/04/19/r... #columbiariver #columbiariverbarpilots
Authors - do you love or hate the “review game/challenge”? Does it vary if you are traditionally v. self published? dedemontgomery.com/a-map-of-her... #reviews #books #writercommunity
You know me. I need to write. And until I'm in the midst of another book....blogs it will be! dedemontgomery.com/2026/03/17/t... #writingcommunity #pnw #irishroots
Hey author friends, did any of your prior schools share a write up on you? I appreciate my decades past #Portland Lincoln High for inviting me to submit this! @writingcommunity.bsky.social #PNWauthors #booksky #amapofherown
Yes, those 40 years working in #industrialhygiene and safety influenced my novels and writing! Https://dedemontgomery.com #writingcommunity #booksky #readingcommunity #amwriting #totalworkerhealth #aiha
