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

My escape this week led to today’s blog.And, even so...yes, I adore my brothers. dedemontgomery.com/2026/05/27/o... #siblings #onlysister #memoir #writingcommunity #booksky

Yes, it’s that day. 46 years. Wow. If you missed it, check out my 2020 blog at dedemontgomery.com/2020/05/12/s... #eruption #mtsthelens #writingcommunity #booksky

I love hearing from readers! dedemontgomery.com #writercommunity #books #placebasedwriting #pnw #booksky

I'm glad to find an author from Oregon here on Blue Sky. I love living in Oregon and the coast is my favorite place to visit.

“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

Okay, this is cool. After all, it’s hard for readers to learn about quality newer (or lesser known) authors. I’m thrilled to be on this list and I’m committed to read books from other authors also listed. Thank you @rodmannix.bsky.social www.literaryretweet.com/highly-rated...

I'm pleased to add these authors (and a few of their credits) to the Highly-Rated Authors page on the Literary Retweet website. @dnschmidt.com @jarnopp.bsky.social @mikesahno.bsky.social @d2montgomery.bsky.social @glcharleboisbks.bsky.social www.literaryretweet.com/highly-rated...

Just finished A Map of Her Own by @d2montgomery.bsky.social. While I recommend it as an absorbing, beautifully told story, I personally appreciated gaining insight into the intertwined labor and suffrage movements. And the crabbing life, too! 🦀 Glad I could start my 2026 with this lovely novel!

I’ve had a few friends ask me what I write. Well…here you go! More at dedemonthomery.com @bedazzledink.bsky.social #writingcommunity #skybooks #litfic #memoir #PNW

Last night with no warning, RFK Jr. cancelled up to $2 billion in funding for mental health and substance abuse research and programs administered through SAMHSA. He and his minions did so because “they no longer believe the defunded programs align with the Trump administration's priorities”.

Unpacking new shipment of books in preparation for upcoming talks. I was unprepared - but grateful - for folks still eager to read my older titles. ❤️ dedemontgomery.com/my-books #supportlocal #writingcommunity #booksky

Today’s work. Just saying….it’s not all about books even if each piece in our world today circles back to what matters most. #actionsmatter #compassion #freedom

Remain wary of the marketing scams. In addition, don't interact with a scammer - many now are retaliating when called out. #bookmarketingscam #writingcommunity #authors #fiction #author #writing #amwriting #amediting #LateNightWrite #writer writerbeware.blog/2025/10/20/...
