It has been a busy, busy month, with storytelling oozing from my pores. Performing, writing poetry and meeting with a pack of word-hungry poets, pushing towards the finish line with my suspense novel Swampwoman, plus the necessity of earning a living keeps me running the track at a steady pace.
This morning I was on Cumulus radio in Washington County, TN with Carl Swann and Bob. I was early - an hour early--imagine that! Bob came out of the studio saying, "Saundra, there's a double rainbow, do you want to see it?" Did I??? I ran with him, but by the time I got to the big window, heavy clouds misted over and we could only see the bottom. Do you suppose I saw the spot where the pot of gold is buried?
I am a storyteller by calling and a writer by trade. Inter-connectivity is my mantra--everything we do and say impacts our place in the world and the people in it. Our stories help us experience the connection, removing fear and prejudice as we learn to live and work together with dynamic Mother Earth.
About Me

- saundra
- Born in Tallahassee, the capital of Florida, I am a genuine Florida Cracker--a descendent of sturdy women and men who farmed their way south from North Carolina in the early 1800's. I am a graduate of Florida State University with a BS in Social Science, and earned an MA in Education/Storytelling from East Tennessee State University. My work is deeply influenced by a love and reverence for the natural world and environmental issues and my love of story. Performance Photos by Valerie Menard, Silentlightimages.com.
