The Authors Guild will meet from 10:30 a.m. to noon next Thursday at the Faith Lutheran Church in Farragut. Our special speaker will be Pete Wyatt, a Tennessee native and retired game warden. Pete is the author of three books recounting humorous adventures in his 37 years’ work as Boating Officer, Game Warden, Wildlife Biologist, and Regional Wildlife Manager, titled An Appalachian Gamekeeper’s Soliloquy of Humorous Tales, Vols. 1-3.
His latest work, Restless Spirits, is a collection of 22 supernatural tales rooted in the folklore, ghost stories, and cryptid legends of East Tennessee, Southwest Virginia, and Western North Carolina. This book explores the eerie mysteries of the Southern Appalachian Highlands.
Readers will encounter cryptid creatures like the Beast of Wolf Hills and the Black Panther of Hells Canyon, as well as tales of witches, Civil War ghosts, and ancient curses. Equal parts historical and haunting, this compendium captures the raw magic and horror of Appalachia, where superstitions still thrive in the modern world.
Pete will offer his books for sale at the meeting. Visitors are welcome.
