Who loves a map in a book? I like to do all the maps in my books myself. Here’s the one from REDNECKS in full color!

Posting all my tour stops soon!

It was one thing to see this online but an entirely different thing to see it print. Thanks, Bitter Southerner for sharing my work and Taylor Brown for your writing. More here - bittersoutherner.com/2024/rednecks-….

A little REDNECKS book bandanna design I’ve been cooking up. Lots of little “easter eggs” from #BlairMountain and #MineWars history. Gonna get some printed to give away on book tour!

You all are going to love this book. I’m serious. I read and listen to books all day, five days a week. It’s got that sizzle.

There aren’t too many labor history-themed novels so I’m looking forward to reading “Rednecks” by Taylor Brown, based on the Battle of Blair Mountain. CC United Mine Workers

Georgia boy doin’ #FloridaMan stuff! I was asked if I wanted to feed Maximo, the 15’3” 1250-lb saltwater croc at StAugAlligatorFarm… We’ll call it the inaugural Flagler College Author in Residence Croc Feeding!

An accelerol-fueled hellbender of a book. SLIME LINE takes a bite out of the Alaska you don’t see in the TV shows...and guts the fancy red salmon that arrives so pristine on your dinner plate. Maynard is a bold new American voice in fiction, and he’s arrived with a fillet knife.

Stopping to gaze at the Matanzas River on my ride home.

Matanzas means massacres. The name comes from the execution of ~250 French Huguenots from Fort Caroline. If you’ve read my novel THE RIVER OF KINGS, you know what’s up!

Lovely river despite the name and history.

Thanks to Mickie Meinhardt of MD’s The Buzzed Word for this lovely review:

“Absolutely phenomenal… So much heart & soul & energy in this book, even if savagely sad at times. Bravo @taylorbrown82 for giving voice to the voiceless. Out this May.”

Finalist for the Thomas Wolfe Fiction Prize — woot! Extra special because I loved Wolfe from a young age. Btw, I save all these rejection notes. Way I see it, each one is another step toward publication. Thank you North Carolina Writers' Network for the consideration and everything you do 👊
