deborah wiles: field notes: progress report

I looked up from work this morning and decided to grab my camera. This is what it's like to be deeply-dug-in with book two of the sixties trilogy this week. 1964. Freedom Summer.

Back to it.

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 is how and what I teach, and my speaking calendar. On the blog 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 eight years ago, and now live in a house with deep purple shutters, chartreuse trim, and a red door. I married musician/composer Jim Pearce five 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 finishing book two of "The Sixties Trilogy," three documentary novels of the 1960s. Book one, Countdown, was published by Scholastic Press in 2010.
