“Is Pittsburgh Appalachia?” they ask, and I take them to the regular old Barnes & Noble at Waterfront.

If 2016 is a guide, there'll be a push to anoint some author from a big commercial publishing house as the person who can explain what's happening. We've seen how that goes, and it's one reason that support for independent publishers and their books is more important than ever.

@ejb1893 @lithub I agree 100% about American Overdose (penned by dogged reporter Chris McGreal). And add Fentanyl Inc., Raising Lazarus, American Cartel, Bad Medicine, American Epidemic, American Fix, The Hard Sell (aka Pain Hustlers), This is Ohio...and what am I forgetting?

Wow. Kate Mishkin, one of the most talented reporters to come through the Charleston (WV) Gazette-Mail, is now writing screenplays and winning awards. Can't wait to see this -- POLITICS JR. -- turned into a TV series.

Either the universe or the judges have a sense of humor — I’m over the moon to share that my pilot "Politics Jr." is a semifinalist (top 2%!!) at @austinfilmfest. I'm in really good company: austinfilmfestival.com/blog/news/2024…

Webster Co., West Virginia, native Josh Stewart @J0SHSTEWART, an acclaimed Hollywood movie and TV actor/avid fly fisherman, has now cast his line into short story writing. And it's a hell of a debut! Already #1 on Amazon charts. Congrats, Josh! amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0DJL4…

West Virginia's own @elainesheldon has a new book in the works, and if it's anything close to her award-winning films, it will be damn good!
West Virginia University Press@WVUPRESS

We're pleased to announce that we've signed Academy Award-nominated, Peabody-winning, and two-time Emmy-winning documentary filmmaker Elaine McMillion Sheldon @elainemsheldon to write a book for us! This work, a reflection on her career as a documentary filmmaker, will blend personal essays with practical knowledge and is inspired by the queries that the director of King Coal receives from aspiring filmmakers.

As I've noted before, Justice's financial woes don't seem to be registering with state voters -- but that could change dramatically if he lost The Greenbrier, either through forced sale or foreclosure.
Charleston Gazette-Mail@wvgazettemail

The Greenbrier Hotel has been scheduled for a public auction to the highest bidder at 2 p.m. on Aug. 27 at the Greenbrier County Courthouse, according to a trustee’s sale notice published by the Lewisburg-based West Virginia Daily News Wednesday. wvgazettemail.com/news/politics/…

Last week, I asked the governor about unpaid property taxes by his family businesses resulting in the public auction of hundreds of lots He didn't like my question: "Brad, I really and truly don't even know why we continue to take your questions."

On a dusty field in West Virginia’s southern coalfields, cops, social workers and people recovering from addiction meet up once a year for games of softball. The response to the region's drug overdose crisis “needs to be kind and loving” westvirginiawatch.com/2024/06/10/thi…

What an amazing film by West Virginia's own Elaine Sheldon. Best Documentary of 2023 -- by a mile, IMHO. Thrilled to see KING COAL will be reaching an even wider audience.
