Wayne Greenhaw was born with a fever. Though literally he was burning with polio, that fever sparked a creative spirit, drive and curiosity in a boy nurtured in a family of storytellers. Alabama's story first came to him through the stories of his grandfather, who worked for the TVA. When he got to go on the road with his father, a beauty supplies salesman, Wayne observed the land and people of Alabama.
Back in the early 60s when Bob Dylan penned the portentous lyric, “The times they are a’changin,” most likely the furthest thing from the young visionary’s mind was the near-seismic upheavals that would beset the publishing industry beginning in the 80s. Not the least of the resulting fault features on the merger-ravaged publishing landscape has been the burgeoning ranks of intrepid small independent publishers making a strong presence. One of the most recent and perhaps most promising is feisty little Harlan Publishing of Greensboro, North Carolina—a sort of Tobacco Road mini-edition of Mysterious Press.
