Authors
The writers behind this newsletter.
Backroad Portfolio celebrates the Southeast’s historic backroads via modern storytelling and compelling imagery.
I write about the South’s history, traditions, and people. Most recently, I shared a memoir series written by my Victorian-era centenarian great-grandmother, and am now sharing her biography about her father.
I roam forgotten backroads and places where the pace slows, where old mansions crumble, and orchards go untended. It’s there that I find inspiration.
