Shadows and Storylines 1: The Place That Made Me: Elamville, Alabama

Before there were books, there was a place.In this first episode of Shadows & Storylines, I go back to where everything started: Elamville and the Wiregrass of southeast Alabama.This is a voice-only episode about place, memory, and the quiet influences that shape a life and a writer long before the words ever arrive.No visuals. No narration tricks.Just a story about growing up in a small place with long shadows and how that place still lives inside every story I tell.
