Publisher's Synopsis
In a 139 page book that is illustrated with over 80 gray-tone landscape, theme and character photographs, I introduce and write about 63 local authors, and would be authors, who present Alamance and Caswell County, NC in fiction and non-fictional books of history, magical realism, fantasy, memoirs, narrative stories, poetry and biographical sketches. In July 2013, I invited my Writers' Club members to take a heritage adventure with me and write their personal stories. Many others joined me later through my free "Writing as Art, Editing and Publishing" workshops hosted at local coffee cafes, churches, and the Alamance and Caswell County Libraries. The stories would be about their historical, educational, artistic and cultural link to this region of North Carolina. In 2015, I invited others who participated in my "Writing as Art, Editing and Publishing" workshops and the "Alamance Writers Night" in the Burlington Artist League Gallery at the Holly Hill Mall on Huffman Mill Road to join me in an updated version of My Alamance: A Photographer's Notebook. Then finally in 2017, the goal was to help first time, and experienced writers, produce a professionally edited and published book that could be placed in libraries, independent bookstore and on Amazon.com. As I assisted them in writing and publishing their books; their stories became my book: My Alamance.
