DuAnne Redus was born in the Texas Panhandle where she felt and saw the vastness of the plains and closeness of the stars. She worked in corporate communications for 15 years before launching her independent career with Amadeus International as a change agent and executive coach for Fortune 100 companies in the field of change management. She worked internationally enjoying cultural diversity before retiring to a small village in the Texas Hill Country. She produced her On River Time radio show for 7 years with stories that revealed 'the head, heart and guts" of what matters in today's world. She discovered that 'who we think we are' creates the map of life. Identity creates destiny. Five Years a Cavalryman was first published in 1889. DuAnne has published an annotated version with an addendum of letters to her great-great-grandfather, H.H. McConnell. This edition also matters; it’s not just a reprint. The modern framing and credited new material position the text as both history and family/community artifact, adding context for readers who come to the book through Fort Richardson, Jacksboro, or Texas heritage interest. Potential sticking points: the structure is “sketch” based (pacing and focus vary), and the language/attitudes are unmistakably 19th century—sometimes biased or offensive by modern standards. For readers who want a readable primary source with grit, humor, and lived detail, it’s a strong pick—especially for Texas history and frontier-military enthusiasts. One-Sentence Review A vivid, episodic frontier memoir that trades tidy plot for lived detail—wry barracks life, improvised post culture, and flashes of violence—made richer (and more complex) by its modern annotated edition Story Book Mountain is her first published book, written at the 'preposterous request' of a second cousin who died in 2016. A thoughtful, document-grounded memoir that rebuilds Martha Moore Trescott’s life from letters, journals, and place, blending family history, spiritual inquiry, moral seriousness, and the hard limits of surviving evidence. Her second book, a 6-Dimension Blueprint for Shaping Your Future was about the right to BE in work and life. Her 'working title' was ShaMama in the Boardroom but decided it might appear to be only for women. Her blogs still use ShaMama as an avatar!
