Mom in Her Writing Nook ...

She was working on the "About the Authors" section of "Echoes Across the Blue Ridge" when I captured this one morning. Though you can't see it, her coffee cup was within gentle reach that morning. Roxie is at her feet.

Event Description

UNCA history professor, Dan Pierce will visit City Lights Bookstore on Friday, June 9th at 6:30 p.m. He will present his new book, Hazel Creek: The Life and Death of an Iconic Mountain Community. It’s amazing to read about all the things that happened on Hazel Creek. A famous writer mysteriously arrived and settled into a remote log cabin. A mine opened and showed great promise until things turned very sour. One of the biggest lumber companies in the country set up shop and brought opportunity and prosperity for all. TVA decided to build a very large dam to help America win World War II and a once bustling town found itself inconveniently within the boundaries of our nation’s most popular national park. Author Dan Pierce masterfully tells the story of this infinitely complex, supremely controversial, and absolutely fascinating mountain community. To reserve copies of Hazel Creek please call City Lights Bookstore at 828-586-9499.
