- About Me:
- I am at home when I am telling stories. It's not that I don't get nervous beforehand, but if I do, it evaporates when I get up and get into a tale. It's not that I don't travel, but the sense of coming home is strong anywhere I'm telling. Lucky me, I've been getting away with telling stories for 25 years now. Oh such stories! From frothy silliness to medieval tragedy from two hours to two minutes, a strong woman's story, a tale of magic, or everyday courage. Irish inventiveness, Japanese poignancy, Canadian recollections - so many tales, so little time!

I have moved and am living in a dulpex with my partner, Jon. His best friend and partner are living in the other half, so we share a back deck. It is a very nice place and I am quite happy.
I hear what you are saying about Arts cutbacks. Ruth and I attended a NASO Conference in November and all the arts are feeling the crunch. It's frustrating when people don't realize how investing in the arts creates enormous returns for provincial coffers and society as a whole.
Had lunch with Linda Winham and Kira Van Deusen today. Kira is in town to do a performance of her Inuit tale on Friday night and Sunday. Kevin Mackenzie is in town briefly on Saturday night but I will miss him as I am having a Skype meeting with SC/CC executive and then doing a reading at the Writers Federation. Ah, if only I could clone myself!....actually that is possible scientifically speaking...but you know what I mean...
Things are great here -- everyone is still healthy and busy so that is good. Just sold a new book on urban legends -- or, sold the idea, so now I am busy researching again but that is one of the things I love to do. Hope all is well in your part of the world. I do come west -- but not as far as Vancouver since my daughter moved to Mission!
Glad to be your first friend. As a friend you have the ability to have personal conversations with your friends rather than just posting to the large membership. There is a lot to discover here and while I admit that I haven't been very active lately, I certainly do lurk on various discussions.
Great to see you in Victoria-- hope to see you in St. Johns!
Happy Tales to You,
