Novelist / Story Coach / Observer — Fiction rooted in Boaz, Alabama
The Pencil Pit
Upgraded writing room in the barn (now known as the Pencil Pit): big desk used in law practice (HEAVY!); ‘Beauty Bar’ (antique) included in old downtown building purchased in 1999 (story is it was purchased from a pharmacy in Gadsden and was there for decades). Figurines in ‘Beauty Bar’ were mother’s.
Most wonderful characteristic of the Pencil Pit–no internet.
