    Local Asheville area authors, including Sara Gruen, Charles Frazier, Beth Revis, Jamie Mason, and myself, are banding together to help fight the disgusting law passed by the NC legislature. You may have heard of it. HB2. Come on out on May 18th and help us make a difference. All proceeds from tickets sales after costs will be divided among the ACLU of NC, Campaign for Southern Equality, Tranzmission, and Equality NC and their efforts to repeal HB2 and overcome the harm it has caused in our community.

    That’s some powerful stuff right there. Support if you can, please.

    Now, on with the drabble!

    Enjoy!

    It was the biggest break of his life, a thousand people waiting to hear his story.

    “Gobble hap, munbutt,” Jeffery Holt said. “Goobsham boggnock.”

    The silence was brutal. Not a peep or sniffle from the audience. The moderator gave Jeffery an encouraging smile. Jeffery smiled back and pushed on.

    Fifteen minutes later he finished. “Nunkik morga wapp,” Jeffrey said and closed the book.

    The audience burst to their feet, the applause wild and raucous.

    The moderator gripped Jefferey’s hand, pumping it up and down.

    “Bun noof farble,” the moderator cheered.

    Jeffery smiled from ear to ear. Bun noof farble, indeed.

  • Writing In Suburbia #35: Your Nerves Are Raw And That’s Okay!

    This week I talk about how it is perfectly normal to feel raw and exposed and emotionally vulnerable when you share your writing with others. It gets easier, but it takes time. I also clarify my opinion on HB2 and where I’m coming from with that subject.

    Oh, and if you have a second or two, post a review or comment on iTunes! It helps!

    Enjoy!

    From Holler To Holler
    By
    Jake Bible

    The thunder rolled across the mountains, bouncing and echoing from holler to holler, a cacophony of Nature’s fury and ultimate will.

    Tully walked the trail, one eye on the steep drop to his left, the other on the ever darkening sky.

    “We gonna make it, Papa?” Nick asked. “To the top?”

    “We’re gonna make it, son,” Tully replied, but was unsure.

    They had a strong lead, but every once in a while, between the cracks and booms, he could hear the hounds.

    “You ain’t gonna let the Devil take me, right Papa?” Nick asked.

    Tully had no answer to that.

  • Writing In Suburbia #34: HB2 And The Driftnet Boycott

    Howdy, y’all!

    This week I talk in depth about NC House Bill 2, called the “Bathroom Bill”, and how it is effecting local businesses and why a blanket boycott is a useless exercise and does WAY more harm than good. You’ll want to listen if you have been paying attention to this issue at all. I set a few things straight.

    I also talk about other things, including the latest HWA kerfuffle.

    Enjoy!

    Cartography, Calligraphy
    By
    Jake Bible

    “Cartography?” Millard asked. “How in the bloody hell will cartography help us survive this ordeal?”

    “Because proper penmanship is integral to spell creation,” Nardle replied. “And you can’t have spell casting without spell creation.”

    “You do realize cartography is about maps and calligraphy is about penmanship and such, right?” Millard asked.

    Nardle blinked.

    “What have you done?” Millard asked.

    “May I borrow your phone?” Nardle responded, avoiding the question. “I need to send a very important text.”

    It was already too late. Behind them a mountain began to grow, obliterating everything, and everyone in its path.

    “Oops?” Nardle said quietly.
