What's happning?
Big plans are in the works for the coming months:
Going to be a featured teller and run a workshop on historical stories at the inaugural USF Suncoast Storytelling Festival at the University of South Florida, St. Petersburg Campus on Saturday Nov. 9. The event is co-sponsored by the Suncoast Storytellers.

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 my story 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 summer.
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 Frnge.
