Valerie MacEwan MacEwan's Proudest Moment? This interview on Linux.com In the South, the confounding struggle between reality and illusion creates tremendous opportunities for writers. Valerie MacEwan travels the South in a concerted effort to learn about the Struggle.

The truth, as she sees it, is revealed in her writing and her photography.

Codding, based on a 1903 journal purchased at an auction in Farmville, NC. * Other blogs include: The Endless Chain Pig Club – Political insight and commentary from the River of Strange in Washington NC. * Interviews with: Marlin Fitzwater Jack Englehard Joe Finder Lily James Janis Owens Jim Booth Mike Daisey Godzilla Jeremy Needle Matthew Warner Connie May Fowler Doug Marlette and more… Check out Dan Brown’s ”DaVinci Code” website.
