The 15-year research and writing project resulted in Texas Dames: Sassy and Savvy Women Throughout Lone Star History and Texas Ranch Women: Three Centuries of Mettle and Moxie.

Carmen Goldthwaite – Author, Teacher, Storyteller – packs a lifetime of writing into creative writing classes she teaches, the Texas Tales she spins and books and articles she pens.
A GIFT FOR THE WRITERS ON YOUR LIST
Gift Certificates are available for those with a budding writer on their gift list. ($75 EACH Or 15% OFF FOR TWO OR MORE WORKSHOPS! )
Translating decades of experience in writing and publishing, Carmen passes along her knowledge to writers through small group Writers’ Circles, individually, classes, conferences and workshops. For 12 years, men and women have knocked on the door of her writing place, her home, “Scribblers Sanctuary,” as nicknamed by early students. Some of her SMU and TCU students still come back from time to time for a “refresher” or a manuscript edit.
Autographed Books make a great gift!
With the ease of a click and the thoughtfulness of one who knows them well, you can give a gift that lasts, that inspires, that suggests the awe of accomplishment.
Author
“You find the untold stories of so many women…women who’ve been lost from the pages of history, and you write them well.”
Ann Smith of the Houston-Galveston Sam Houston Chapter of DAR about Texas Dames: Sassy and Savvy Women throughout Lone Star History
Carmen is the top-selling author of Texas’ heroic women’s stories: true adventures across the centuries and the landscape of Texas.
ONE READER SAID about TEXAS RANCH WOMEN: THREE CENTURIES OF METTLE AND MOXIE…
…“well written and informative. I was born and raised in Texas. We had Texas history in school. This book gives me the ‘rest of the story’.” – Txana, on Amazon, a review.
Storyteller
“Thank you for coming. I could tell people really enjoyed the stories you told.”
Debbie, Pittsburg Peach Festival
Carmen spins the tales, the true ones, of Texas’ formidable women, stories untold or long forgotten. She’s written about them in columns, magazines, anthologies and books– tales of immigrating to “Tejas” alone and with children, standing off hungry and angry hostiles with guns or baked bread, grubbing to bring forth crops and livestock on land often parched, making hay when wildcatters poked their pastures and hit bonanzas.
Upcoming events
Whether about history or writing, Carmen welcomes the opportunity to ‘pass it on.’
