Where do we go after Appalachian High?
That’s the question that keeps tapping you on the shoulder after you close the book.
Not loudly. Not politely. Just enough that you can’t ignore it.
Some roads end clean. Others leave you standing there with a compass in your hand, wondering which way still feels true.
The Broken Compass is already pointing somewhere darker. Somewhere earned. Somewhere you don’t get to without walking through what came before.
If Appalachian High was the dream, the next leg is the reckoning.
So we’re not forcing the direction. We’re listening.
Let the compass decide.
If you’ve read Appalachian High, tell me where you think the road leads next.
And if you haven’t yet—start at the beginning. The journey matters.
