Dawn,
I don't know if you are familiar with my book The Secret of War but it is based on oral history. I have added fiction in places to fill in the historical blanks. It is probably now the best known of oral histories in Henderson County. If yo...

Hi Kevin,
I had a look at Lightning Source and was very impressed... enough so to submit an application. I use InDesign, so do not require any assistance in my formatting, layout, etc., so I think this might be a good switch for me at this time. I...
Kevin,
I currently use Lulu services and have had excellent results from it, although that could be the result of the marketing that I have personally done... what services are available in the Asheville area for printing, do you happen to know? M...

- Dawn, I found my great grandmother Nancy Goldsmiths brother , I believe it was Yancey Goldsmith, living with Nimrod Buckner, who was either his Uncle or his grandfather. Anyway I found that Nimrod's father was one Jesse Buckner, so I know that Jesse Buckner was either my Mary Buckner (Goldsmith)'s father or grandfather..Am I making sense.Anyway I would love to see your record of your Buckner's. My Buckner family came from Northern Buncombe or else Transylvania county.

- Hello Dawn,
That is some interesting stuff. Yes, I know a lot of these "stories" that are not so nice. Families around here have their share of infighting. I'd love to know more about how your Garren's are connected to mine but I think it goes back to when Transylvania was part of Henderson County. Anyway, I'd love to see your book when you finish.
I'm working on several different things that might be of interest to you.
Thanks,
Terrell

- Are you related to the McCalls in Henderson County? I've studied lots of Civil War records. There must be at least forty, maybe fifty McCalls in the Confederate Army.

Blue, blue farscape,
Wave upon wave of mountains.
What others strode here before me?
Did they marvel at what they saw?
Earth seems so empty,
Trackless forest, fields and hills.
I feel the spirits of the old ones
As they pass this way still.

Mr. Hart, author of "3000 Miles in the Great Smokies," and Mr Slusser, author of "In the Near Loss of Everything," will read from and sign copies of their books.
Some writers can use language to create images that evoke the gamut of emotions. Some writers can tell a darn good story. But not every writer can do both.
Paula Kane, a long-time student in the Great Smokies Writing Program, is a card-carrying m...
