    Disappearing Appalachia in Tennessee: A Picture of a Vanished Land and Its People
    • Stepping through time to past and present communities, settled in deep hollows and surrounded by ridges and mountains in Tennessee's Appalachia, is to confront a different and disappearing realm. Travel along Hogskin and Richland Valleys. Visit Frenches Mill and Dulaney General Store while passing cantilever barns, one-room school buildings and steepled churches. Listen as octogenarians Robert, Charles, Glenn and others explain life without electricity. Former Cades Cove residents Lois and Inez tell stories of living in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park before it was a national park. Authors Fred Brown, retired journalist, and Harry Moore, retired geologist, explore Tennessee's Appalachian region, recalling its culture, land and people before it vanishes into the abyss of time.

      Exploring themes of love, loss, and self-discovery, the poems reflect on a painful divorce and the enduring nature of love over decades.

As the poet traverses the Big Horn foothills, the collection reveals an internal quest for reconciliation between past and present selves, culminating in a narrative rich with friendship, hope, and appreciation for nature.

    • He comes to spend the afternoon alone. A cycle ride around the lake, a quick lunch and then home. His life is at peace. Middle age looks good on him. Living in the quiet complacent countryside of Northamptonshire. A man for reflection and circumspection he is prone to let his mind wander and drift. Today seems one of those days. The girl walks into his peace, sits beside him, and brings with her memories of his own past that throw him back into his youth. He tells her that she reminds him of someone. She is so like someone he knew but is too young to be her. Their meeting appears coincidental but was it? At her request, he embarks upon a tale of his own past, of the love of possibly two women, of his youth in Salford as a management trainee fresh from University, amongst a factory of girls who outwitted and manipulated him. He begins to question his own student socialist ideals as he comes into conflict with real practising socialists in the work place. The story tells of his education as a young manager, causing a terrible accident, trying to fight with the unions and becoming involved and in love with one of his new recruits, Aldora. She is married. He is not. Yet his love for her is challenged by his fascination for Mary, the charismatic and aloof shift supervisor who acts as his managerial mentor and guide, and of whom Aldora was profoundly jealous. Most of all the story is about Aldora, proud to be from Salford, a city which she says is populated by people who created wealth for those who never knew work. A poetess in her spare time she is looking for stimulation beyond the scope of her husband Bob. Her love affair with Eddie is gentle and tender and develops with quiet drama. She wants it to reach its ultimate and poetical fulfilment.

    • In his new novel, Harry Moore delves into the professional sector, exposing the realities of banks and business support agencies at the grassroots level. He highlights how being a qualified accountant often outweighs the value of designers, engineers, or manufacturers, illustrating a world where financial professionals thrive off those who actually create wealth. Drawing from personal experiences, he reveals how EU and government funding schemes intended to assist small businesses often result in self-perpetuating quangos managing the funds. The narrative begins dramatically with the suicide of a businessman, whose connection to the story unfolds later. Central to the plot is Gerard, an ambitious figure in financial reconstruction, who navigates a landscape filled with professionals driven by the pursuit of fees while surrounding a struggling business. As Gerard faces off against Tony, who is determined to turn the business around, a hidden agenda complicates their rivalry. Additionally, Gerard's wife, also an accountant, harbors her own secrets that come to light as the story progresses. At the heart of the tale are Victoria, the owner of Peveril Products, and her Finance Director Charles, who grapple with conflicting advice and agendas, leading to a growing sense of loss of control for Victoria, especially after her husband's death.
