Shadows and Storylines 11: Picking it Back Up - A Year Later...

Back after a year away, I’m diving back into Come Our Way, a Southern story rooted in the farming crisis of the 1980s, real-life memories, and the people who lived through it. In this episode of Shadows & Storylines, I talk about restarting the manuscript, rewriting the first nine chapters, and why this story feels more personal than anything I’ve written before.I also discuss the role the Atlanta Braves and baseball played in my Fractured Horizons trilogy — from Perfidious Tides to Last Castle in the Sky and Live the Last Day — and why those memories of Fulton County Stadium became part of the soul of the books.Topics in this episode:• Returning to Come Our Way after a year away• Rewriting the opening chapters — Draft Two• Writing without outlines• The farming crisis of the early 1980s• Real-life inspiration behind the story• The Atlanta Braves as part of Southern identity• Why baseball became part of my fiction• Upcoming book festivals and eventsSigned copies of all three books are available on my website. - pelhampugh.com#ShadowsAndStorylines #ComeOurWay #SouthernNoir #WritingCommunity #AtlantaBraves #PerfidiousTides #LastCastleInTheSky #LiveTheLastDay #SouthernGothic #AuthorTube #PelhamPugh #WritingLife #BookTube #Wiregrass #AmericanSouth #IndieAuthor #BaseballAndBooks
