Profile Information
- About Me:
- Stories have been telling me since 1981, when I first heard "The Folktellers." I was a teacher at the time and developed stories to go with lessons in the classroom. Then, I became the storyteller at the Edwardsville Public Library for many years telling to all age groups.
In the meantime, I've been an active member of NSN, Northlands, the Riverwind Storytellers, and many other groups. In 2002, I became a full-time teller of tales. My primary love is folk and fairy tales, but I also write many personal stories. I've lived in the same town all my life - Fairview Heights, Illinois, across from St. Louis If you'd like to read some of these stories, please visit my website.
There are so many reasons why I love being a storyteller, but one of the top ten is that I believe I found the type of people (fellow storytellers) that are of my "feather." That's why I joined this group.

Sorry I did not get back to P. storyteller to see I had your comment. The holidays were a whirlwind--all family and friends stuff. We spent 3 full days around Christmas with our Daughter and her family in Irmo, SC. So pleased to have excellent weather, especially for the traveling.
It was good to get your 'good' news about Larry at the end of the 'bad'. That was no doubt very scary for awhile. Our best to him! Hope he still feels himself and chipper.
Our work is usually slow after mid-November, and until February. I rather like the break. It meant even more this year with all the scary story immersion in Sept and Oct.
The book was sent to the layout artist the Sunday before Christmas! I am working on proofing the hard copy, and doing those tedious pages like the Index. I think it a fine book. I continue to say that your article is up with the best! When I get the pretty copy from the artist, I will send out each contributor's article for their personal proofing.
Back to my proofing. If that were my only project, I would have finished a week ago!
Be careful on the ice. We have plenty of it. We lost a good friend the 29th do to a bad fall walking on black ice.

The book comes along great. Before too long I will have your article back to you for a draft check. I ended up with 52 articles from 52 different teams. I am working and reworking the best order. How has your storytelling been? I think perhaps fall is extra busy for you and Larry. We were solid booked for most of it. Enjoy your holidays! Jonatha

The story locally is our favorite plum tree, a Castleman plum bloomed late, had a bunch of leaf curl, was being attacked by beetles and termites, so after dinner we cut it down and cut it up. [down/up ???] English is funny.
Welcome to the site. Gosh there is a lot of stuff here, great groups, cool discussions and some really funny video just to mention a few things. There is bound to be something here that you might like. Don't see a Group that suits your needs? Create one... isn't that cool. Invite people and the next thing you know... you have a network of people who have a similar concern and are working on solutions.
have fun

Good to see you on this site! Actually - it is always good to see you everywhere. Hope the world is treating your right - or not charging you too much if it is not TREATING you.

Hi sweetie! Welcome to Professional Storyteller. Glad you joined the group. We are definitely of your "feather!" And this site was designed for those who wanted to "flock together."
I hope you get to explore around a bit and join some of the groups, especially Storytelling In Education - we need you there! Big hugs and best wishes always...
Warmly,
Dianne
