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

The daily scams are unbelievable. They clearly use AI to write these “glowing” emails about our works. Yesterday I got a movie offer lol

Any Northern Oregon Coast friends? I am so excited to be in conversation with reporter Patrick Webb at the Astoria Public Library on Wed., June 24. Join us? Thanks for sharing KMUN! #writingcommunity #pnw#books

Wow! It really is something that bonds all of us together who were around when it happened.

Rarely. Astoria and northern coast including Long Beach Peninsula are regular visits. I’ll be speaking at Astoria Library June 24.

Ooh, nice to “meet.” I love to visit both the mountains and the coast!

“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

I love this. A follow up question for anybody who knows. The Mult Co Library has 5 copies of my newest book (A Map of her Own). I love to visit with book groups and this is a good chunk of books I’ve been sharing it on my own SM, but let me know if you know a better way!

Dede Montgomery @d2montgomery.bsky.social · 07/05/2026

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

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

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

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 waiter, I'll have a cup of tea, a scone, and if it's not too much trouble, perhaps some precedented times?
