Marge Fulton has lived in ten different states. Home is where your heart is, and Hazard is the home she says she always wanted. She and her husband have been there for almost twenty years! Marge recently retired from teaching Special Education in the hills of Eastern Kentucky. Burn out is such a reality of that field; she says it hit her like a forest fire! Her degrees are from Florida State and Eastern Kentucky University. She has written a truckload of poetry and short fiction. Her work has been published in Appalachian Heritage, Now and Then, Grab-a-Nickel, Old Hickory Review, Pegasus and others. She is very excited that Envoi, out of Wales, has accepted her poetry for the issue due out in Feb. 2009. Her poetry collection was a semi-finalist in last year’s Black Lawrence Press’ Chapbook Contest. She has attended Green River Writer’s Workshops, the Hindman Settlement School Writer’s Workshop and Gurney Norman’s workshops at Hazel Green Academy.
Her short story collection, ALL ROADS LEAD TO HAZARD, was recently released with stunning reviews. The book was listed in the Nov. 2008 issue of THE GOOD BOOK GUIDE. She has also co-taught children’s writing camps and has judged numerous contests. Currently she is a member of Writers of the North Fork and an officer in Art in the Mountains. For her watercolors, she is also a juried artist with the Appalachian Artisan Center. She is currently working on a collection of Appalachian fantasy stories.
