I recently retired from working in higher education at an access institution, providing oversight for students who have developmental English and/or math requirements. I now have more time to write, take walks, do Pilates, solve word puzzles, binge on Acorn TV, and read (incessantly). I have three amazing daughters, all grown and flourishing as they create meaningful lives and communities. My first novel was Reawakening Rebekah: The Gift of the CLAMOR Girls, and I wrote the stage play version of it as a result of a creative collaboration with the Theatre Department of Columbus State University (GA). They included the play in their 2013-2014 season, and Athens Creative Theatre included it in their 2018-2019 season. There is nothing quite like seeing your words enacted on the stage. My second novel, A Rose in Little Five Points, was published October, 2023, and I'm working on a third novel. I have also written a children's story about the unlikely friendship between a butterfly and a dragonfly.
Why CLAMOR Girls? I think each of us, in our own way, is clamoring to figure out who we are and that we matter. If you'd like to be on my author email list, please email: [email protected]. And follow me on Facebook at Deidre's Books!
