About Me

My photo
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.

Storytelling in Jonesborough

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?
