Magic in the Appalachian Mountains wasn't something learned from books. It was passed down in quiet conversations, in the gathering of herbs and stones, in the work of those who knew how to heal and protect. Scots-Irish settlers brought their ways, mixing them with the knowledge of the people already here. It wasn't a thing of mystery-it was a part of living. My Uncle Grant lived by it. Some called him a warlock, others a healer. Plenty feared him, but just as many came to him when they had nowhere else to turn. Magic wasn't separate from life-it was knowing which root to pull, which stone to carry, what words to speak when trouble came. It was survival. It still is.

The Appalachian region, rich in both natural beauty and cultural heritage, serves as a tapestry woven from diverse threads of history, folklore, and tradition. The landscape itself shapes the stories told within its valleys and peaks. From the rolling hills to the dense forests, the geography has not only influenced settlement patterns but also the development of unique cultural practices. The isolation offered by the mountains allowed communities to flourish independently, preserving their distinct traditions, stories, and superstitions that have been passed down through generations.

Short short story. Appalachian humor.

In the misty mountains of Boone, North Carolina, where neon diners hum alongside ancient shrines, 19-year-old Aaron Katsuo clings to his late father's rusted 1967 Shelby GT500-a beast of steel haunted by memories of war, J-rock mixtapes, and unspoken goodbyes. Struggling through grief and a gap year of isolation, Aaron clashes with brash sophomore Yumeko Majima, whose own hidden scars from her brother's suicide fuel a passion for dragon-etched designs. As they restore the car amid wildflower fields and Blue Ridge drives, a chosen family emerges from the auto shop shadows: a guilt-ridden mother, a gruff veteran mentor, and friends chasing melodies and legacies. But can Aaron rev past his father's ghost to forge his own path, or will the weight of loss stall them all? Steel & Petals is a heartfelt coming-of-age tale of healing, identity, and the roads that bind us-where Southern soul meets Japanese spirit in a symphony of engines and echoes.

As an avid hiker and 4th-grade teacher, I decided to write a book about my section hikes of the Appalachian Trail (AT). Working at a year-round school, I get the benefit of longer breaks. I.E. 2-week spring break and 2-week fall break with 6 weeks for summer. Perfect for completing sections of the AT.
