  1. So, I'm pretty excited about this book. This is absolutely a work of fiction. I begin by stating that. Nine years ago, however, I encountered the main character of this book in real life. A rural county sheriff who was a bad person. Investigating him and his cronies led to this tall tale of corruption, crime, and the sorts of malfeasance that can fester in a remote Appalachian setting where the law is whatever the powerful say it is. The names and crimes are altered for fictional purposes. My mother was a proud West Virginia "hillbilly," a term she used to describe herself, not as the derogatory inference as it has become today. She loved her West Virginia roots and her big family. So, the book's flavor is steeped in her corny sayings and my grandmother's words. I can still hear "Lawsy mercy" in my head. So, someday when "It's hotter 'n blazes" or when "it's colder than a well-digger's ankles" outside, I hope you'll curl up and enjoy reading my Appalachian novel GOOSE CREEK HOLLER. The ebook is now up for preorder at all online retailers with a delivery date of 8/1/26. MONEY. MOUNTAINS. MURDER. Enjoy. #novel #fiction #reading #readingCommunity #readers #read #author #authors #readThis #preorder #writingCommunity #appalachia #hills #newBook #new #books #mastodon #bookstodon #booksky #bookReview #writing #publishing #country #character #sheriff #corruption #crimeFiction #crime #book #slang #southern #words #criminal #murder #marijuana #goosecreekholler #sophiajanehayden

  6. The outlook today. For me, #summer is the best time of year. I get outdoors and feel like a kid, and it reminds me of family camping trips into the lakes and forests of #Muskoka, when the rules were eased, and the water was refreshing #Mulmur #Trees #Hills #Scenic #Trail #Nature

  11. View of the Gorge from the Pushkin Pass, Martiros Sarian, 1949

    I got a Nintendo Switch because I wanted to play the new Zelda games. They did a remaster of Metroid Prime! these games are so well-made, wow.

    And not too long ago, people used to walk around with goats all day. No internet or phone. Can you imagine? 🤣

    I bet they used to day-dream a lot.

  14. This morning's road cycling involved a good amount of climbing and large quantities of wind - but since I had company and we took it easy, I enjoyed every bit. What am I saying here? ...I nearly always enjoy the climbing!
