Critters are a rich form of adventure. I have had many interesting times in both my real life and in my imagination. My stories often have animals, both real and imagined. Napoleon the Genuine Texas Cow Hog, popped into my head after the kids rais...
This last weekend I announced at a Tx Longhorn cattle show, where I saw the real America. Friendly competition with tight family involvement and great kids. One family that always does well has 17 kids, most adopted. They are all well adjusted and...
Do animals figure prominently in your stories? Talking, teaching, magical, provocative, long-suffering, animals have been part of story since story began. Let's talk about how you include them in your tales.

- About Me:
- Scott often wears the hat of a cowboy storyteller and poet, but that is just a sampling of the wide variety of hats he has worn in life and story. He can transport you back to Grandma's house for milk and cookies or down to the bayou with his childhood companion, "Snappy the Amazing Pet Gator". Select audiences even enjoy his tales drawn from his days as a big city cop. Texas and cowboys, cops, landlords, historical, histerical, tall, short, or medium wide, Scott can spin a tale for you.
He is a past Pres. of the Houston Storytellers (OOPS and current again as of March 08), and has won notice for his work by several organizations, including his 2005 award as Louisiana's State Champion Liar. (Though, honestly no politicians were present in the competition.)

Richard Stillman said… - Dear Scott,
I enjoyed looking at your site. Though I'm really more of an urban cowboy, i appreciate the lore of the West. I tell some Pecos Bill Stories, and do a show about vaudeville where I include Will Rodgers and some of his rope tricks.
All the best with your telling

Rachel Hedman said… - Dear Scott:
Oel tells me that you two are partners in crime--storytelling wise of course!
How often do the two of you share the stage? Did you arrive on the storytelling scene about the same time?
At least you know how to pick out a nice hat. (I can appreciate that.)
Until we tell again,

Tom Taylor said… - Yes, sir - I'm the same way myself - and ain't it fun!?
Who, in his right mind, would opt to be NORMAL!!!??
The first word in normal is NO!
The first word in weird is WE!!
The first word in strange is STRANGE!
The opposite of no is YES, and that's how we got our slogan:
YES, WE NO WE STRANGE!!
Amen? AMEN!

Carolyn Stearns said… - Howdy! Well the cows cought my attention so I had to look a little further. My son and I belong to the Ct. Renegades Cowboy Mounted Shooters, we have a large Ct. dairy and he is all cowboy. I'll show him the pictures of your ranch. He is 14 and lives the cowboy dream, I tell about it , love western stories and historical as well. Civil War is a specialty as wesll as Revolution. You are the second Texas teller I want to meet just from the bio on this list, just have to get down that way one of these days. On another note I have always wanted a chuck wagon! We have a collection of horse drawn vehicles but no chuck wagon - 2 milk wagons but then that figures. I think you will really like this site. There is such a diverse group of tellers you would have to go to a hundred festivals to see and hear all the material & people that are in here. An awesomne way to learn and share! Welcome, Carol Stearns . Ct.
