Barry D. Yelton, “Scarecrow in Gray” author, hails from hill country of North Carolina
By Janet Grace Riehl • Apr 30th, 2008 • Category: Read OnBarry D. Yelton, author of Scarecrow in Gray, (September 2006, Universe) based roughly on the Civil War experiences of his great-grandfather is currently at work on the sequel.
Barry says:
As to my work, I am a bit of a poet, a bit of a novelist, and a whole lot of Southern. I come from the hill country of North Carolina, which is a unique place unto itself. Our accents tend to have a bit more twang and a little less honey than those you hear in the movies. We were also ambivalent about secession, unlike our rabid cousins in South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi and Louisiana.

Hi Janet,
I really like your poetry. I do a bit of poetry writing myself, but it has only been published on my blog and on authorsden.com.
I am going to Amazon to check out your work. Thank you very much for the link. All the best with your writing.
Kind Regards,
Barry
