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
As a bit more niche author I remind myself it’s not about volume, but it’s about those that take the time to tell you that your writing touched them. And then on top of that - are those that privately message with similar feedback. And you?
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
@caseygifford.bsky.social I saw a post of yours, fellow Card. But I bet I’m a lot older!
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
“…My memoir and fiction hint at some of the “why” I appreciate Bedazzled’s mission to “celebrate the unique and under-represented voices of women and books about women...”

Yes waiter, I'll have a cup of tea, a scone, and if it's not too much trouble, perhaps some precedented times?
Can’t wait for the launch of “The Divide” by @pahoehoe.bsky.social #writingcommunity #skybooks
Can’t wait for this exciting launch and for folks to get a copy of this book!
Love this as I hail from Oregon but drove part of Coast of Maine awhile back. Gorgeous pic. I wrote this after my visit to your parts dedemontgomery.com/2024/10/14/t...
Seriously…
That sounds like a PERFECT day to me. ❤️

I’m going to assume that you are authentic and want to know. I am echoing how authors are absolutely exhausted by scams or AI supported efforts to “market “our books. No means no. I use my authentic readers, events, and followers to help me market mine. Thanks. I hope you find this helpful.
Thank you for your interest. Just to be clear, I’m not looking for marketing assistance. The best place to go is the link I shared above and then you can find those books in all the usual places. Thank you.
I’m learning that is such a popular genre these days! It’s not really my thing for sure. Although sometimes I listen to that genre on audiobooks on Libby just to make sure I’m aware of what’s out.
Nice to meet. I’ll check out your work. I’ve traditionally published memoir, lit fiction and most recently dual timeline fiction - more here dedemontgomery.com/my-books/
Just in time for Oregon’s birthday, my 2020 e-book is now available on bookshop.org! Learn more at dedemontgomery.org/then-now-and... #creativenonfiction #oregonreads #writingcommunity #skybooks
