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

It is easy to feel discouraged. But we want to thank the many public health professionals, like Dr. Deb Houry, who continue to fight. Sharing her powerful op-ed. And a huge thank to all the current and former CDC career staff who work tirelessly to protect all people. 💚 time.com/7338714/dr-d...

ICYMI: don't miss this critical reporting on the fossil fuel industry's involvement in crippling the EU's green laws.
