An ever growing site of non-fiction,flotsam, fiction,memoir,autobiography,literature,history, ethnography, and book reviews about Appalachia, Appalachian Culture, and how to keep it alive!!! Also,how to pronounce the word: Ap-uh-latch-uh. Billy Ed Wheeler said that his mother always said,"Billy, if you don't quit, I'm going to throw this APPLE AT CHA" Those two ways are correct.

"Tales From Suburban Widespot" by Roger D. Hicks Just Went On Sale On Amazon
My first collection of short stories has just gone on sale in all three formats, hardcover, paperback, and Kindle on Amazon. These are Appalachian short stories about half of which have previously been published somewhere in paper literary journals or online literary websites. My description of the book on Amazon is: "This book is a collection of Appalachian Short Stories set in and around the mythical community of Widespot which is located somewhere in Central and Southern Appalachia. The stories are purely fictional but based on the author's lifelong experiences in Appalachia. They are about life and common experiences which most native Appalachians have experienced: birth, death, baptism, near starvation, defamation, adulation, love, hate, marriage, divorce, separation, experimentation, and near extermination. There is humor, tears, grief, and a little humor about tears and grief. They are stories about life, the lives of fictional Appalachians and the deep rooted, multifaceted culture in which we live. They are about the common Appalachian Values which were written about by Loyal Jones, Albert Stewart, Robert "Bob" Snyder, P.J. Laska, Don West, and many other native Appalachian writers who have been both my mentors and friends. Now it is the turn of native Appalachan Roger D. Hicks to write about these beliefs and values. It is also your turn to read about and enjoy them!" https://www.amazon.com/s?k=tales+from+suburban+widespot+roger+hicks&crid=D9FJTAVKXQMH&sprefix=tales+from+suburban+widespot+roger+hicks%2Caps%2C128
