deborah wiles: field notes: all kinds of progress

And (ab0ve and below) preparing for long days in the writing chair after Christmas. This is progress, too.

WELCOME!

Hey. I'm Debbie Wiles. I'm a working writer. I live in Atlanta, Georgia. Professional bio at the "about" link, above. Bio for young readers at the Comfort Snowberger link. Here you'll find a mix of things including more about the books I've written.

After living in the Washington, D.C. area (Frederick, MD) for 25 years, where I raised a family, I moved to Atlanta seven years ago, and now live in a house with deep purple shutters and siding, chartreuse trim, and a red door. My neighbors love me. I married musician/composer Jim Pearce four years ago. You can hear Jim profiled by Susan Stamberg at NPR right here. I've spent the past ten years traveling and teaching and speaking, while writing the next books. I'm currently home for a year, 2012, while I'm writing book two of "The Sixties Trilogy," three documentary novels of the 1960s. Book one is Countdown, which was published by Scholastic Press in 2010.
