Update for former Braves coach now turned writer.

[edit]
  Dews follows his 2005 book, Legends, Demons and Dreams-- Longstreet Press, with a writer's lifetime collection of prose and poetry, An Illusion of Victory, Five Points Press, Athens, Georgia. Legends, Demoms and Dreams, was rated as one of the top five sports related books of 2005 by USA Today in an article from Carol Herwig, December 15th, 2005. 
  An Illusion of Victory, is now available through Amazon.com or Books- A- Million. Currently Bobby Dews ( writing as Carl Thorpe )is at work on a novel, Unpublished Poets, also to be published by Five Points Press. 
  In addition to his work with the Atlanta Braves as Major League Consultant, Dews also teaches creative writing and serves as Writer-In-Residence for Andrew College, Cuthbert,Georgia. When asked about genre, Dews often replies "I write in the Joe Gould tradition, as explained by Steve Lopez in his book, The Soloist. In other words, I write what I want to say through other voices, but after the book is published I clearly understand that most fiction is autobiography and most autobiography is fiction. I think the English critic, Martin Seymour-Smith said this first in his now ancient, 1976, Who's Who In Twentieth Century Literature, at least that's where I first read it. As for advice to the aspiring young novelist, treat time as an ally not an enemy-- plan your writing time and stick to your plan, but leave enough time to live life to the fullest, because life is merely research for those blessed and cursed with an inexplicable desire to write fiction."  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.247.5.37 (talk) 06:02, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
