What's happning?
Gosh darn, I haven't been keeping up with myself.
Got to update this site.
So, since I last sounded off here:
I continue to host the first Wednesday Storytelling Open Mic at the Safety Harbor Art & Music Center (on through to May).
I'm working on a book of Florida Cowboy Poetry: The Scallywag of the Scrubs. (Poems based on Florida's Most Infamous Cow Hunter).
Hope to get it out before March 15 when I'll be telling some Bone Mizell stories at the Florida Historical Society.
In March, I'll be visiting the Texas Story Telling Festival. April will find me at the Georgia Mountain Storytelling Festival, and the Stone Soup Storytelling Festival in South Carolina.
And in May, I'm performing at the Florida Folk Festival.

After 35 years as a newspaper reporter, feature writer, columnist and television critic, I discovered storytelling as a performance art.
Looking Ahead.

Have you heard about Pearl, the baloney eatin' dog?
Find it on WNCW radio's website under the Wordstage programs. Many thanks to John Thomas Fowler who invited me to share a story on his program.

What a thrill it was to share a story at the International Fringe in Edinburgh Scotland this past August.
It happened by chance when I ran into Torrey Shine at the Orlando Fringe in May. She had a show, "Don't Stop Believing" that ran the entire month in Edinburgh and was a hit.
​
She also hosted a mid-day showcase of other Fringe performers and asked me to take the stage when we visited Scotland in August.
What a rush! I told my chicken-playing tic tac toe story. The audience laughed in the right places. Thanks Torrey. I also saw a dozen storyteller shows while at the Fringe.
