About Me:: I have been telling stories for years. I got my start as a baby-sitter in my teens, then my next audience was my four children and now I tell to many delighted audiences. At five feet tall, I loves "short" stories from around the world, and personal stories. Tales come alive as the different characters jump from my mouth and into the ears of my listeners.
I started a storytelling festival at my local elementary where I coach children to tell stories and am a past president of the Utah Storytelling Guild. Stories connect us together; they bring us joy and smiles. I LOVE STORYTELLING.

“I could listen to Janine’s stories for days – and I would reschedule my plans in order to do so! Her stage presence draws audiences in like fish to water.”

It's always good to hear from friends from the Utah Storytelling Guild. I hope to catch up on my dues soon and make it out to one of the Chapter meetings. It's always inspiring.

Yes, Story Swap was a huge effort, but it turned out well and the tellers who attended got some really good coaching and telling time. Watch for the review in the Taleswapper, we are going to do another in November.

Happy, happy. Karl
