Bio

As a professional ghostwriter for over two decades, Blaire Adams, has long been a master secret-keeper. Through her previous airline employment, good fortune came to her one evening when she had the privilege of escorting an acting legend to her connecting flight. With the initials of "LB," this actress decided to turn the tables on Blaire by chatting her up – instead of the usual other way around. After perusing excerpts from her personal writing and promising to "put it in the hands of the right people," Blaire acquired a literary agent within the next week. "LB" had kept her promise. To date, Blaire has over 25 celebrity memoirs in her ghostwriting repertoire. Blaire has played an active part in the campaign for women's rights for almost 30 years, and is well known among the principals of that movement. In 1996, she was a guest on the Oprah Winfrey Show as it examined the issue of an "appropriate amount of working hours" for both custodial and non-custodial mothers. Later in 1999, in addition to being recognized by then-President Bill Clinton, she was appointed an Honorary Kentucky Colonel for her work on both state and federal levels in the protection of victims of domestic violence. Professional writing affiliations include holding offices as Regional Director, Treasurer, and Conference Coordinator in New Jersey, New York, and Florida, along with facilitating writers' groups in almost every state she's resided. Her trademarked writers' groups include Creative Scribes© and Musing Wordsmiths©. Having published articles in several Chattanooga magazines, including "Women's Way Journal," "For Women Only," "Homes & Living," she was a featured author in "The Times Free Press," in 2008, and wrote a monthly syndicated column on Domestic Violence Prevention Awareness Education for a subsidiary of the Times-Journal, Inc. newspaper organization for three years. More recently, she and her faithful Scottie, Quincy, have taken up residence at their newest writer's cottage on Signal Mountain, TN where she can pursue the completion of a more personal project, "Martyred Justice."

Chattanooga Writer's Guild 20th anniversary

Image
    Chattanooga Writer's Guild just celebrated their twentieth anniversary. That is a great milestone for my city.  I became involved with them through joining a writer's group that meets in Hixson (well... during the pandemic online). My group produces a collection of short stories called   Crazy Buffet . The name came because the group initially met in a restaurant called the Crazy Buffet. Actually, it was the second restaurant they met in. The first one closed.... so did the Crazy Buffet... and we moved to a local BBQ. Our next anthology was   Crazy Buffet: BBQ Edition . Then the whole world shut down... I don't think this was directly our fault but who knows how history will remember it. Thus, our last was   Crazy Buffet: Curbside Edition . We always give our profits to our local university young writer's group.   My group is an amazing group who have helped me with my writing, assisted me with technology, led me to conferences and online resources, and mostly, en

ABOUT

Once there was a group of writers. They wrote in different genres. They wrote in different styles. They were very different in age, experience, political outlook, and their stance on the Oxford comma. (Note to editor: Do not change the punctuation in that sentence.) But they were all writers. And they were all perhaps a little crazy each in their own way.    At 5:30 on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of a month, they gathered at a buffet restaurant to eat and to talk about writing and life in general. Their time together inspired them in their craft. To this day they deny that their group had any connection with the fact that at least two of the buffets where they gathered went out of business.   They criticized one another, brainstormed together, laughed as much as they disagreed and shared what they learned in a group that's been going strong for more than a decade. They've greeted new members enthusiastically and said goodbye reluctantly to those who've become their friends.
