Welcome to my new website. If you have been redirected here from my "Writing Mentor" website, please check out my new pages on mentoring and manuscript services. My essays appear regularly on insidehighered.com. My work has also appeared in the Austin-American Statesman and, most recently, in YogaPlus Magazine. I am the author of She Left Nothing In Particular: The Autobiographical Legacy of 19th Century Women's Diaries (University of Tennessee Press, 2001) and the editor of Tandem Lives: The Frontier Texas Diaries of Henrietta Baker Embree and Tennessee Keys Embree, 1856-1884 (forthcoming from University of Tennessee Press).

The University of Tennessee Spring/Summer 2009 catalogue arrived in the mail today and there on page 17 is the project I have been working on since 1996. I can’t wait to see the actual book. It’s scheduled for release in April. Amazon.com says April 20 but who knows if that’s accurate. I’m still at work on the website but was pleased to see the link included in the description. I’d better get busy posting more of the information I have!

It’s a New Year of Change and I am trying to change my approach to this blog–from ignoring it completely to actually writing! After more than a year away from the page, I think I am ready to begin writing again with a new focus and new interests. I’ve been reading Jon Katz’s blog at bedlamfarm.com recently, enjoying his photography as well as his efforts to change the “meme” for the year by undermining media efforts toward Despair and Hardship. I’m with him on that because I have recently found myself focusing much more on the positive aspects of change and the new focus I myself in my writing life.
My edition of the Embree Diaries will be published in April 2009 (at least according to the current schedule) and I am unbelievably happy about that. The idea of that project has been with me for a long time so I am ready to share the lives I have been with so long. I hope for compassionate and interested readers and wonder if others will find the connection I feel with Henrietta and Tennessee. With the publication comes a conclusion of one kind of project and a transition to another. I am working now on the companion website, embreediaries.com. This site has taken on a life of its own and is a place where I intend to explore what I could not fit in my book. I also hope readers will find it a place to explore the idea of diaries and diary keeping as well as gain new understanding of the Embree family.
I am moving in my writing in new directions as well and a new book project is forming slowly. And that is the project I hope to explore in this blog in the coming year. Stay tuned.
