A blog, a book and beautiful note cards from the Blue Ridge Mountains of VA
I am an elder-blogger (entering my fifth year of writing almost daily and posting digital images to Fragments from Floyd.) This medium represents my first public writing--at 54--and has led to a memoir, Slow Road Home -- a Blue Ridge Book of Days; to a biweekly column -- The Road Less Traveled in the local paper (the Floyd Press); and to more than two dozen radio essays on the local (Roanoke) NPR station over the past few years. I am currently working two days a week as a physical therapist, and otherwise involved in civic activities, Blue Ridge Parkway issues, and promoting the book and photography while writing for fun and not so much profit.More recently, I've begun to put legs on my long-standing plans to produce photographic note cards for sale along the Blue Ridge Parkway and in and around the town of Floyd, population 400. I'm hoping that my next "product" (other than the half dozen sets of five note cards) will be a full-color book plus narrative text, and am waiting for the right combination of production and distribution to become evident to me. My first book was entirely the product of my efforts (with the exception of printing which I contracted out) and I'd like to do the same with the color photo book.
