Welcome

Since its publication in 2007, Literary Trails of the North Carolina Mountains has sold very well. News of its distinctive approach to cultural tourism has stretched from New York to Australia. Thank you for your encouragement and interest in this project commissioned by the North Carolina Arts Council.
The assignment to create tours that take readers and travelers along literal trails that trace out the lives and works of North Carolina 's men and women of letters throughout history has unearthed pure treasure -- dozens of little known stories and anecdotes about the literary legends and the everyday writers of our state.

Volume II: Literary Trails of the North Carolina Piedmont--covering the heartland of the state--is scheduled for publication by the University of North Carolina Press in September, 2010. In the meantime, I continue to give book talks, creative writing workshops, and several other activities described on this website. See the icon at the left to download a list of available talks and workshops.

Publication of the Literary Trails series has led to the creation of this website, but information about the events surrounding that occasion is not all that is here. I invite you to meet the network of colleagues and friends with whom I have had the pleasure of collaboration over the years as a writer, teacher, consultant, and documentary producer. Here you can also find information about the Duke University Writers Workshop, the Solatido Songwriters Workshop, and my consulting practice with nonprofits.

I am now beginning the third volume of this series on Eastern North Carolina. In the meantime, you can order a personalized, autographed copy of the book from me on the Literary Trails page of this website.

Thanks for visiting.
