Countdown Mini Episode 3

Show NotesWhat is it about the Appalachian Mountains that makes them feel ancient… haunted… alive? In this episode, I’m sharing why I chose this region as the setting for The Darkness in Blackwater Ridge — even though I didn’t grow up there. From eerie landscapes to deep-rooted folklore, the mountains offered something I couldn’t resist: mystery, memory, and a kind of quiet magic that creeps into your bones.We’ll talk about what drew me in as a writer, how real legends helped shape the story’s world, and why Appalachia has always felt like the perfect place for things that can’t be explained.Grab a blanket and settle in — the hills have stories to tell.🔔 Episode Highlights:Why I didn’t need to be from the mountains to feel their pullThe real-life folklore and eerie history that inspired the settingHow the land itself became a character in the novelA special excerpt from The Darkness in Blackwater Ridge📚 The Darkness in Blackwater Ridge comes out July 6🎧 Subscribe to the podcast for more mini episodes each Thursday in June👻 Follow me on Facebook @SupernaturalTalesFromMamawsFrontPorch🕯️ Support the show & get bonuses at patreon.com/supernaturaltalesfrommamawsfrontporch
