Stepping off the front porch I'm greeted by the same forty acres of orchard that has been home to multiple generations of my family. I'm no less rooted to the land than the hundreds of apple trees that populate my tiny kingdom. I can't help but feel that I grew up in a Grant Wood painting—rural Americana at its finest.
Turns out after decades of unrelated career pursuits, I'm an author, a novelist, a poet. Words swirl in my head in cyclonic fashion, latching onto others, igniting ideas, formulating phrases that evolve into paragraphs, combining and combining, tempestuously giving birth to stories that will not relent until they are incorporated into print. I am merely the conduit between the original thought and the keyboard, exploring th ...more

Loss…

I lost a friend today. More than a friend actually, someone I had resonated with for more than thirty years—a blindingly bright personality in a world of too often beige individuals. Full of smiles, even to the end of a long health battle. Setting a standard so high, who could match it? Too soon gone. Altogether missed.

Stopping in my tracks, lifting my head to a perfect sky, I spo

Thanks Cathy! I've had a poetry collection out for a year now. And along with the book I just put out this month, I also have another with a traditional publisher in Asheville. Completely different, it's an historiacl narrative about my grandfather's rise from a poor, mountain farm boy, to owning his own apple business. Every chapter deals with a life lesson I learned through interaction with him. I plan to read some excerpts from all three and post the videos on my website real soon: www.evanwilliamsauthor.com. They will be added to my regular daily postings. So glad you found me on here. I just set this up late yesterday.
