I grew up amid a family descended from a long line of storytellers on both the maternal and paternal sides of my family. I could sit for hours a listening to those stories told at night after all the chores were finished and supper was over, and whilst I was listening, I would be concocting my own stories and journeys of these mysterious people. My ancestors of whom I had never met, those that died many, many years before my birth, but somehow, I felt as though I had known them personally, sat and talked with each of them about their life; each given a personality and a face, from the descriptive storytelling ability of the storyteller who sat before me.
My name is Susan Cobb Beck, and I am a storyteller too. One who prefers to tell her stories written in ink and printed upon the pages of a manuscript to share with all of those around me; those who enjoy journeying into another world; a world that makes us forget about our troubles, a mysterious world that lies between the pages of a book.
Journey with me every chance you get. I know that you will enjoy the vacation from the everday hustle and bustle that abounds in our everyday lives.
