Camping Nantahala National Forest Under Some Beautiful Old Growth.

Camping Nantahala National Forest under some beautiful old growth.

Gonna start adding some photo dumps from time to time. This week is my last week at the toxic job. For the next month, I will be working remotely before I move in September. I want to maximize this time I have, and truly enjoy life.

I plan to travel around this region, working at coffee shops in different towns, eating lunch at new places. I want to enjoy my time here and end on the best note possible. While I’m here, I want to document the little adventures I find myself going on, the food I try, and other fun surprises.

Pictures here from this weekend: A coffee shop that is exactly what I want my house to look like one day (full of plants)

Amazing wood fired pizza with the best pesto I’ve ever had.

I am baby sitting Apollo this week, and it seems that him and Ophelia are getting along just fine. I love him so much.

Those dog days of summer.

Congratulations! 🎉 🎊 I’m so excited for this. As you all know on this blog the Southeastern Coast (especially South Carolina) is extremely near and dear to my heart. So it’s so cool learning more about it. Our coastline is known for so much folklore, history, ghost stories, and much more. I eat it up every time I can get my hands on something new to learn. I love seeing snippets of my home here too.

@lowcountry-gothic this reminds me of something you would enjoy also. We got another SC friend here.

- Captain Marrow Book Reveal Trailer -

It is with great excitement that I present this trailer for the reveal of my book cover, title, and premise! I’ve been vague these years working on this project behind the scenes of running the Shipwrecked page, but the topic is dear to me and the research behind putting this book together has been immense. I assure you that despite the premise, this is in fact a pirate history book, delving into the topic. I read long ago that should you write a book, do so to fill a void in your own library - something that doesn’t exist, that you wish you had, but cannot get. I’ve aimed to fill this void, and I’m happy to announce that a follow-up Book 2 is not only planned but already over halfway complete.

I would like to preemptively thank any of you who might share the video, and I welcome any and all questions you might have regarding the book in the comments below. That being said, I’ve also already recorded a YouTube interview and a Spotify podcast which will both be going live in the coming days, in which I’m interviewed about the book and its premise. Further, I plan on making a dedicated text post this evening addressing the topic and premise of the book for those unable to watch.

Went to the farm today. I’m so glad I’m coming home. Every time I go with my PaPa, he tells me stories of his summer jobs picking peaches in the summer 60+ years ago.

Yay!!! I’m so excited about this. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 congratulations!!

Ahoy everyone! I have wonderful news. After four and a half years of working on my book, it not only is now 100% complete, but tomorrow keep your eyes out for a very special post here, where I will be announcing the book's title, premise, and release date! It has been a long journey, and I've kept the premise under wraps for the most part (aside from a few I've spoken, or conferred, with). But its very gratifying to be able to state that the project is complete, and I am very excited to reveal more information tomorrow and in the coming days.
