ABOUT MEAuthor
E.D. Montaigne is an award-winning writer and author of memoir, fiction, and narrative nonfiction. There is often a cat on her lap, sometimes a dog or three at her feet, and most likely a cup of no-longer hot tea on the table while she writes. |

PORTFOLIOWhat I doAs a writer, I explore the story found in time and memory, and the beauty found in meaning. It is then that the foibles and fragility that become our common life experience come clearly into view.
It's sometimes hard to stop laughing... and crying. But taken together, those are a sign that Wisdom has just arrived at the door... Time for another cup of tea and cookies! |

It was a blink of an eye when suddenly everything was new and would be remembered, but as a likely a moment that would never again be lived in just that way. That moment remembered is where story begins its journey.... |
