More exciting news is coming from this publisher soon.....
Also - 


 Since some of you tried to come to the last storytelling/family history event I was scheduled for in Utah, I wanted to make you aware of some great events coming up. Please understand - I'm not trying to pressure you into spending money you don't have on things you don't need or want. I just promised some of you I'd keep you posted about such events, and this is me keeping that promise.

The first is the Timpanogos 2013 StoryWorks Conference, February 7-9 2013 at the BYU Conference Center. See: http://www.timpfest.org/storyworks
This conference is focused on the application of story in various walks of life. My daughter and I are presenting a workshop on Saturday and I'll be performing Saturday evening as well. There's all sorts of different options and pricing for this event here:http://www.timpfest.org/store/home.php?cat=4

Let me know if you decide to come, I'd love to see you!
Additionally, I have the pleasure of serving on the Story@Home Executive Board. The Story@Home Conference (http://www.cherishbound.com/blog/storyathome/) exists to help people identify ways to use story to connect with those that matter most. 

I'm super thrilled this year with our new partnership with RootsTech (the largest genealogy conference in America). For three days, March 21 - 23 at the Salt Palace Conference Center in Salt Lake City there will be a myriad of classes offered for genealogists, bloggers, storytellers, family historians, and the interested public all united through story.  My daughter and I are presenting a workshop on Friday. 
Hope to see you soon!

Not a tea drinker you say? Miss Tonia and The Stillwater Mansion can create a customized event for you anyway! Trust me, tea time is so much more than a beverage - it's a state of mind. There's nothing quite like gathering at the Stillwater with trusted friends to shut out the cares of the world.



There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea.
~Henry James, The Portrait of a Lady

Another novelty is the tea-party, an extraordinary meal in that, being offered to persons that have already dined well, it supposes neither appetite nor thirst, and has no object but distraction, no basis but delicate enjoyment.
~Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin, The Physiology of Taste
