Words from a Reader

The “Writing Life Stories” e-mails I receive are such treasures. As soon as I see there is one in my inbox, I read it immediately. I look forward to them and never know how they will touch me. They can be interesting, informative, humorous, and/or touching.

Betty Jamerson Reed, author from western North Carolina

Today I want to introduce my readers to Betty Jamerson Reed, writer, who lives here in the Appalachian Mountains of western North Carolina. Betty is 83 years old, but is living a full life as a writer and is involved in several organizations. She has long been a member of NCWriters' Network and NCWN-West, the mountain program of the Network. 

Read an interview with Betty on this site.  See Betty's picture and read her bio here.

Betty's new book Soldiers in Petticoats is a biographical account of three women of accomplishment: Sophia Sawyer (1792-1854), a teacher in the Cherokee Nation; Emily Prudden (1832-1817), a teacher of black and white Appalachian youngsters; and Martha Berry (1866-1942) who taught white mountain children.

    DJan, thanks for checking out Betty's book. So many good books are overlooked because they are not pubished by one of the five big Publishers in NY.
