"Horseshoe Jack" is coming
The trail winds higher, folks. "Horseshoe Jack" arrives December 2, 2007, at Scaldcrow.com.
The porch light's glowing, and the mountain is waiting.
This original tale comes from Appalachian storyteller T. Glenn Bane, inspired by the stories Uncle Mud used to spin on the front porch of my MeMa's little mountain house, set high on Bell Spur Mountain in Carroll County, Virginia, it's a story of mountain mystery, old memories, and the kind of tale that lingers long after the last word is spoken.
Before you press play:
- Find a quiet place
- Let the mountain settle around you
- Listen as the old storytellers did
Then come back and tell me what stayed with you. Share it with a friend who appreciates a good mountain yarn, and help keep the tradition alive.

Klossus: The Real Work Begins, part 5 of 5
Welcome to Part 5 of 5 in our journey through world design. Here the brainstorming ends and the real work begins. Until now, Klossus has been a collection of notions: an occupied island, a resistance of knights, a ticking clock, a few whispered legends. Notions are wonderful things, but you cannot play a notion at the table. Tonight those ideas begin to take on real shape.

Worlds & Wednesday: The Witch Tish-Tasha
I’m going to share a tale with you this season. It’s one my own mama first told me, back when I was knee-high to nothing, in a little mountain-top town so small you’d miss it if you blinked. I carried that story around inside me for years without ever giving it much mind. Life does that. You tuck a thing away and forget you’re still holding it.
