BUCKHANNON, WEST VIRGINIA, December 7, 2025

Every Sunday brings a certain quietness; a stillness that settles itself over our homes, hills, and towns alike. This is a day when people breathe deeper, speak softer, and remember that life is more than the pace at which we chase. Here at the Appalachian Post, we honor that stillness; I have always believed that we should keep one day for reflection and rest: Sunday is that day for us. We’ll still offer stories, we’ll still share pieces that enrich and entertain, but the rush of breaking reports and the constant turn of daily events will always wait until Monday; we believe that our readers deserve a brief pause from the noise too.

Today, we were more than blessed to be able to launch our Sunday Storyline where you’ll be able to read short fiction sagas and one-off stories that are meant to thrill and entertain you, every Sunday. In this section we have series that I’ve personally developed such as the Nightmare series that are retellings of nightmares I and others close to me have had in our lives; High Stake Haul, which is a trucking saga that tells the stories of a young man trapped in a gang-style, high-stakes gambling ring in fictional Las Vegas; Space Riders: a fictional Sci-Fi series that tells the story of a fictional future universal police force and the adventures of its members.

At midnight we reset back to our daily news activities, and tomorrow evening, at exactly 8:30 p.m., our 2nd week in existence, as a business (and news publication) begins, and I will provide a full update on what our first week looked like: our growth, our readership, and the enormous support you have shown in just a short time. For tonight, I simply want to say thank you: thank you for reading, thank you for showing up, and thank you for allowing us to serve you with our method of reporting that is based on factual, centered, A-political, and free from the pressures that can weigh us down. Most importantly, I want to thank you all for showing me that what I’m doing here, and what we’re doing as a business, has meaning and is valued: I’ve always been extraordinary with words and I’m a very gifted writer, but I cannot find the words to express my gratitude towards you all, who have tuned into our site and read our articles, from around the world.

May your night be peaceful, may your rest be full, and may the coming week bless you richly. We will see you after midnight as we begin another week of news: delivered plainly, honestly, and without bias.

God bless you and thank you for spending your Sunday with us at the Appalachian Post.

The Appalachian Post Opinion section exists to provide thoughtful, honest, and personal perspectives on the issues that affect our communities. While news articles present only verifiable facts, our opinion pieces allow writers to speak from experience, conviction, and emotion, always with integrity and respect. We do not use our opinion platform to attack individuals, groups, or other outlets. Instead, we focus on ideas, values, and the human impact behind the stories we cover. All opinions published by the Appalachian Post remain grounded in truth, clarity, and compassion, avoiding sensationalism and distortion. Our goal is to give readers a space where real voices can be heard, difficult topics can be explored, and the weight of life’s moments can be shared with honesty and understanding.
