Pisgah National Forest Has Really Become A Special Place To Me, Even On The Home Level. What I Miss So

Pisgah National Forest has really become a special place to me, even on the home level. What I miss so much about my home on the coast is how intimately connected I am to the Lowcountry. Knowing I am going back to it has given me so much hope for the future.

While this past year has been extremely difficult, Pisgah became a very familiar comfort for me. I use to travel, take days off from work, and get hotels just to come to Pisgah National Forest. Being a days trip away this year has been amazing. I will most definitely miss this the most.

This is a place I am very connected to. From Looking Glass to the summit of Mount Mitchell, this place will always be my home away from home. I am so very thankful to have had this escape for comfort. It’s the only place up here I truly know my way around on that intricate level.

And to think I’ve only covered a small portion of this land. I’ll always be back often.

Conway, SC in October is actually one of my favorite things. Right as I’m emotionally preparing to leave the area… they do this. Ima miss you little town 😭😭

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.

This trail is directly out my back door at my new apartment. I use to walk and bike this all the time. If I turn the other direction, I am 1 mile from the ocean. Everything is back to normal again.

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.
