Meeting the deer on my morning walk. Always a good omen for the day. #asheville

Deeply disillusioning when literary idols like Munro and McCarthy turn out to be badly flawed Art Monsters. Fiction is no license to lie in ways that prey on your loved ones.

I hear Wang Wei speaking to me today:
Birds fly away to the ends of the earth;
The mountains have an autumn look again.
Going up Huazi Ridge, and coming down,
I am moved by feelings of the utmost sorrow.

I published my Appalachian novel “Kings of Coweetsee” with Regal House in July and a historical novel “The Woman with the Stone Knife” with Histria Books in October.

Yes, we have white squirrels, not albinos, populating our hills over #Asheville. Seen on my morning walk up Sunset Mountain.
