Stepped inside my ancestor’s country store from the 1930’s to sign copies of The Isolate for such amazing people. Felt the presence of family members who had been in that store long ago but who are no longer part of this world. #theisolate#randsmithpublishing#ninespeakersinc
Wrapped up the Trail Days Festival with a talk at the rustic Old Mill inn of why I wrote The Isolate. Such a great crowd and The Isolate is now heading back on the trail with these hikers, or back home with the hikers who have finished their hike. #theisolate#randsmithpublishing
Having a blast meeting these fantastic hikers and signing copies of The Isolate for them. They are anxious to learn the story of Nick Grindstaff. #theisolate#randsmithpublishing
"Unputdownable! The Isolate transports the reader to remote 19th century Appalachia, where its beauty will steal your heart. A tale of ultimate resolve, this vastly appealing story is needed for today's beleaguered society.”
- Parris Afton Bonds, NY Times Best Seller #theisolate

“My time on the mountain ain’t just been hidin’ in a cabin. Though I ran from the world, I observed its intricacy from a distance. When you’re part of the world, it swallows you up, so that what you see as truth is actually imagined." Excerpt from The Isolate.
Ole Nick has been spotted in Luxembourg. He has now made it to readers in Europe, the South Pacific, the Caribbean, as well across the U.S. Hopefully his story will spread worldwide soon.
