SCBWI has been a huge part of my author journey. Participating in SCBWI meetings, conferences and webinars led me to win grants and prizes, meet author friends and mentors and land a literary agent and book deals. 🧚‍♀️✨

Can’t wait to share some of my learnings on the Ins and Outs of Publishing Panel at SCBWI’s Virtual Summer Conference. Hope to see you there! 🤗📚❤️

“Life Tales” storytelling program name change and focus. I will be updating my website this summer and this includes changing the name of my ‘Life Tales’ program to “Story Man Tales”.
The focus of this program is sharing fun, family friendly, personal stories. The only thing that is actually changing is the name not the program theme.
These stories are based loosely on my personal experiences as a kid and as an adult. I will be adding all full length story videos to this program of my personal stories in the future.
I just recently published to my Vimeo Video channel my recording of my 1st story of a kid experience for this program that i titled “Hair Wars” .
A fun and entertaining tale regarding my life from the viewpoint of a 7 year old kid. This is a add free video and free to all. I have already posted the link to this video twice on this page recently.
This is a story about my family in 1958 and my mom’s battle with my cowlick. I will be adding a link to the full video to my website when we do the update.
In the years to come I will be adding more full length ‘story man tales’ videos to that page.
This breakdown of my webpage will most likely be my last reiteration of my website except for adding new vids of my stories.
