Jim’s book, Trail Guide for the Crooked Heart has already won critical acclaim.

It captures the social and personal wisdom quest at the heart of contemporary storytelling.” A professional storyteller for over thirty years, May is in Asheville for this limited engagement before he starts his official book tour in 2017.
Regi’s book, Where There’s Smoke, There’s Dinner, stories from a seared childhood. “A collection of family stories that could have been collected by any one of us, just add a lot of flavor! Regi Carpenter’s stories are pure joy. Exquisitely written, funny and deeply moving they are brimming with profound insight into the complex ways families love. I read them over and over and always find something new.” — Noa Baum, author of A Land Twice Promised
