On a cool fall night in the Smokies, curl up in front of a fire in one of our Bryson City NC cabin rentals and reach for a good book.  What's a good read for a mountain evening?  We have a favorite suggestion.

Ron Rash, professor at Western Carolina University, is the award winning author of 9 books: The Night The New Jesus Fell to Earth (short stories), Casualties (short stories), Eureka Mill (poetry),  Among the Believers (poetry), Raising the Dead (poetry), One Foot in Eden (novel), Saints at the River (novel), and The World Made Straight (2006) and Serena (2008). 

His family has lived in the Appalachian mountains since the 1700s, and there is a unique taste of the rugged mountain life in his works and his characters are no simple stereotypical constructs, but rather real folks dealing with tough issues, some common to people everywhere, some unique to the mountain region they live in.

Whether here for fishing in the Smokies, smoky mountain golfing or just a relaxing Carolina mountain vacation, there's nothing like a good book to wind down the day, and Ron Rash won't disappoint.
