Stories I Like To Tell In Person.

I like to consider myself a pretty good storyteller.  I may not be as skilled with poetry or artistic prose as I would like, but my 17-year-career as an independent writer is proof that I can spin an entertaining tale.  I like to tell some of those stories here in the blog section, but there are a few that don’t translate as effectively into the written word.  There are some stories that are better told in person, so I’ll list those tales here today.

If you see me at a convention, run into me on the street (it’s happened!), or you’re one of my close friends or relatives who’s never heard these stories before, ask me and I’ll gladly tell you these stories in full.

*My mother hates when I tell this story because this is something she once said to me.  But this is also Garth’s favorite story, and he’s made me tell it so many times that it’s made my mom into a semi-legend among our mutual friends.
