Fred’s Books
This is my Shameless Commerce Page for Goose Creek Press–my Doing Business As entity for the writing and photographic items by whose sales I attempt to avoid an excess of guilt over doing this work that I so love! Don’t hesitate to email me (fred1st over at Gmail Dot Com) if you’d like books inscribed to someone special or want larger volumes drop-shipped directly at reduced rates. Many thanks! ~ Fred First / Floyd County, Virginia

I am enjoying reading “Slow Road Home.”
We returned to Virginia after living 12 years in Fayetteville, NC. (All Sand and No Mountains)
We now live at Smith Mountain Lake, but still love our
home county of Floyd.

Fred, I noticed your website on a postcard I get and the photo intrigued me to go to your site. I like your stuff. Come up to Grayson County sometime and enjoy our beauty as well. Thanks, Chris

Greetings Fred. I just stumbled upon your site and love it. I have linked to you on my blogroll and would love it if you’d link to me. Scroll down on my home page to see a recent entry about Floyd. I lived there for a year in ’03-’04. No place like it! I still have some dear friends there.
Hi, Fred.
I’m Jim’s, the Story Teller’s, brother in SC.
A word of thanks to you for your many kindnesses to him, initially offering him a place to shoot, but more recently and dramatically, inspiring him to write like he talks. Like many who have a gift, he seemed “born to blush unseen”, without opportunity or encouragement to cast his seed upon the waters. You show up, and the rest is unfolding history. We’re getting a real charge out of this in SC. For all you’ve done, much gratitude from the lowcountry. See you later, on the porch.
Dear Mr. First
Your photographs take my breath away! There is almost a painterly quality to them and they make me want to run to the mountains and leave the cities behind! Thank you for this wonderful website and photographs.
Hi from Helen!
I’m planning to highlight your website and books at a program I’ll be doing for a PEO group in Blacksburg. This will be a short overview(20 minutes or so) of what I understand from looking at these and choosing excerpts.
The group is a womens’ Philanthropic Educational Organization dedicated to helping women achieve their educational goals. There are 3 chapters in the Blacksburg area.
Please let me know if you would have anything special you’d wish me to mention at this house meeting on August 10, 2010 in Blacksburg.
Best wishes and thanks for your work, Helen Renqvist(Newport, VA)
Fred – I found another giant golf ball on top of Apple Orchard Mountain in Bedford Co.

Fred,
I came across your website today. Your photographs are so beautiful !
When will WHAT WE HOLD IN OUR HANDS be available for ebooks? I purchased SLOW ROAD HOME yesterday in Martinsville and upon checking out your website found it to purchase for my Sony Reader. I would so love to have WHAT WE HOLD IN OUR HANDS on my eBook.
