⚓ Introducing the New Fouled Anchor Music Website

I’m excited to finally share the new home of Fouled Anchor Music.

What started with music has grown into something much broader—a home for my work as an author, publisher, and independent creator, bringing together books, music, and the projects that sometimes live somewhere in between.

At the heart of that is the 3 Chords and a Lie trilogy.

The journey began with Appalachian High: A Dreamer’s Tale, the first novel in the trilogy and a project that became much more than a book. It was created as a concept novel accompanied by an original album, also titled Appalachian High by Raleigh Keegan, allowing the music and the story to exist together as two parts of the same world.

That story continued with The Broken Compass, and now I’m working toward the final chapter of the trilogy, Devil to Pay.

The new Fouled Anchor Music website brings these projects together under one roof—book publishing, music publishing, my work as an author, original releases, and the stories and creative work behind them.

If you’ve followed any part of this journey, I hope you’ll stop by and explore the new site. And if this is your first introduction to Fouled Anchor Music, welcome aboard.

There’s a lot already behind us—and plenty more ahead.

⚓ The new Fouled Anchor Photography website is officially live.

This has been more than just building a website. It’s been about creating a home for the work I love—capturing the energy of live music, the personality behind a portrait, and the moments that deserve more than a quick phone snapshot.

Fouled Anchor Photography is now booking:

📸 Concert and live-event photography
🎤 Musician and artist portraits
🎬 Photos and some video content
👤 Professional and creative portrait sessions
📦 Product and promotional photography

Take a look around, check out the portfolio, and reach out when you’re ready to create something worth remembering.

🌐 www.fouledanchorphotography.com

And if you know an artist, band, business, or individual looking for photography that feels real—not stiff, staged, or forgettable—send them my way.

The anchor may be fouled, but the vision is clear.

Danny Wallace had the talent to escape the mountains—but not the wisdom to know what he might lose along the way.

He left the mountains chasing a dream—but some roads take more from you than they ever give back.

How do you find your way home when you're the reason you left?

Danny Wallace finally got everything he thought he wanted.

The problem is that success doesn't erase mistakes.

It just gives you more room to hear them echo.

Some ghosts follow you.

Others wait patiently for you to come back.
