The title of Peavine Press was selected to represent Peavine Falls, a peaceful site at the peak of Oak Mountain State Park south of Birmingham, Alabama. In my youth, I often hiked to Peavine Falls with my dad and my sisters. Peavine holds a special place in my heart as a place of solitude, self-discovery, and natural beauty, all objectives of my writing projects.
