As I travel around the country, I’m often asked what I do for a living. When I say I’m a storyteller, many people stare at me blankly. They have no idea what I’m talking about.
So I created this website to explain what I do. But reading about storytelling isn’t the same as experiencing it. Now you can hear everything I’ve recorded. I’m also releasing my work because some people who love stories can’t afford to come to festivals or buy CDs. They should have the opportunity to enjoy my stories, too.
I love storytelling and want to introduce lots of new listeners to this wonderful art. If you like what you hear, please spread the word. Tell your friends about this website.

Summer of Treason On July 4, 1776, the colonies launched a new nation by declaring their independence. This act of treason had been eleven years in the making. Those years transformed the lives of rich and poor: the world's most famous American and a failed corset-maker; a lawyer-politician and a widowed seamstress; a wealthy poet with unfortunate taste in men and a Quaker gambler; a powdered minister and an African-American teenager.
