Our upcoming issue focuses on the aftermath of Hurricane Helene and the historic floods. We are focused on how beautifully our communities worked together, and on uplifting each other. The issue includes personal stories, and detailed information about the damage and the response. We also include photoessays from photographer Omer Fichman and stormchaser Aaron Rigsby. Mister Rogers told us to look for the helpers, so that's what we've done, and the story that has emerged is nothing short of beautiful.

We are seeking advertising partners.

Murder at Brightleaf Inn

Set in 1952 in the North Carolina mountains, the Brightleaf Inn is more than a picturesque getaway—it's the setting of a chilling mystery intertwining its eerie history with present dangers. Mystery novelist Margaret Holloway, seeking inspiration amid writer's block, becomes entangled in a real-life enigma when a guest dies under mysterious circumstances, marked by a single white rose. Joining forces with Detective Arthur Langley, they delve into the inn's secretive guests, uncovering motives, vendettas, and legends that bring them closer to the truth but deeper into peril. The inn, haunted by the legend of the woman in white and a past filled with ghostly sightings, takes center stage in a story that blurs the line between the living and the ghostly, hinting at a tragic love and betrayal cycle. As they race against a looming storm that traps them with a killer, Margaret and Langley must solve the mystery to avoid becoming part of the inn's dark history.
