edit data

Elizabeth Campbell Frey has worked in Fortune 500 companies in positions dealing with systems analysis/project management, human resources, employee relations, and affirmative action. After surviving cancer, she switched gears and, during her studies for a master’s in history and non-Western cultures, she focused on water rights and resources and completed a thesis on the Doctrine of Discovery and land issues in Indian country. Born in the Philippines to chronic expat parents, she has lived in too many places to name, but now lives in Texas Hill Country with her husband, 2 gypsy-hearted kids, dogs, cows, chickens, a horse, and a swarm of transient kamakaze hummingbirds.

Writing a Corporate Suspense That Used to Be Literary Fiction

Genre is a funny thing for many authors today, including me. It's a type of pigeonhole that is employed to help market a book, but it can also be a straightjacket for an author.

Don't get me wrong. Many readers like to know what they are about to read, myself included. However, we are in times that are defined by disruption. I do believe our stories must reflect that. And as a writer, I hope I can Read more of this blog post »

If the poet doesn’t wish to revise, let the poet abandon poetry and take up stamp-collecting or real estate.” —Donald Hall “Poetry is a rich, full-bodied whistle, cracked ice crunching in pails, the night that numbs the leaf, the duel of two nightingales, the sweet pea that has run wild, Creation’s tears in shoulder blades.” —Boris Pasternak “Wanted: a needle swift enough to sew this poem into a blanket.” —Charles Simic “Language is a cracked kettle on which we beat out tunes for bears to dance to, while all the time we long to move the stars to pity.” —Gustave Flaubert “Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It’s that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that’s what the poet does.” —Allen Ginsberg. ~~~~~ Amy King, Moderator Amy King is the recipient of the 2015 Winner of the WNBA Award (Women’s National Book Association).
