. . . book finished and to my agent at last.  Let’s raise awareness about the risk and seriousness of problem gambling!

Hey to all from back down South.  Lovin’ these live oaks and Spanish moss and white azaleas and Carolina jasmine.  Seventy degrees today and partly cloudy, beach nearby, cardinals in the cherry tree outside the window and books to write (and write and rewrite and rewrite).  Things to see, stories to tell.  Peace, from dogwood country.

It’s great to have you along on this writing journey. Why don’t you email me at amy@amyblackmarr.com and let’s have a chat? I’d love to talk to you about your work!

Thanks for visiting my web site!  If you’d like to contact me, invite me to appear for your event, or request autographed copies of books, please email me directly at  amy@amyblackmarr.com.  I will read and respond to your email personally.  If you’d like to find out more about my books or me, check out the pages to the right.

If you have a gambling problem, or if you think you know someone who does and would like to find out more, I urge you to contact the National Council on Problem Gambling at 1-800-522-4700 or visit them at www.ncpgambling.org.  Someone can help.

Just a quick note while I’m on the road to say how terrific the Georgia tour has been so far. I’ve been in Newnan, Tifton, Savannah, Macon, and Camilla, and now I’m tooling around in North Georgia. The students at Wesleyan and SCAD (and especially those amazing middle-schoolers at South Forsyth Middle School!) were all wonderfully bright, engaged, and welcoming. The Newnan library event exceeded my wildest expectations, and the patrons and staff were all so very warm and charming and attentive. (Thanks especially to Judith and Ellis, and Carrie and Emilie and Kurt, for their hospitality, friendship, and help.) And of course the big party in Savannah just reminded me how fortunate I am to be so unconditionally supported.  Now I’m up to Blue Ridge for the literary festival. Come up to the mountains and I’ll see you there!
