First off, a big thank you to our newsletter friends here for the great dragon name suggestions. You’ll hear them in the story. How fun is that?
I am so excited to get to share an early excerpt of the upcoming podcast episode Mookie and the Magic Egg, Story 7 with my supporting subscribers.
The Magic Egg stories have been fun to write. I can see Mookie, Larkin, and the gang so clearly in my head. It is honestly hard to believe that I can’t just walk over to Grandpa’s house for a cup of coffee at their kitchen table, and scritch Shamaya’s ears.
Workshops and Performances
I’m performing this Spring. I’ll be at the Leo Coffeehouse on March 10th at 8 PM. I love this venue - a perfect listening room. I’ll be performing songs from Goldenthread and April Eight. What is Goldenthread? Songs I’ve written that lean more toward adults than children. I also explore my current obsession with traditional songs that traveled from England, Scotland, and Ireland, through Appalachia and into the American folk lexicon. I’ll also be sharing new songs I’ve written for April Eight.
May 4th in Columbus, Ohio I’m telling stories and sharing songs as Goldenthread on the Showcase Stage. Later, in the Youth Stage as April Eight, I’ll have songs and stories too. Then I will be leading my workshop, “The Taleteller’s Toolkit”. Should be a fun day doing what I love most.
