Storytelling

Spellbinders is a wonderful organization of volunteer storytellers who spin tales for children and for all who like to hear good stories.  I joined Spellbinders and began to tell stories with my harp in February of 2010. The children know me as Lady Janet and my harp is known as Guinevere. Together we bring our stories to life with music and sound effects.

Carbondale's local radio station KDNK asked Spellbinders to provide a ghost story for Halloween.  On October 29, 2010, I retold the story "The Golden Hand" by S.E. Schlosser.  It is a story about a man who murders his new wife by slowly poisoning her because he wants to possess her solid golden hand.  His wife returns to haunt him.  The harp is a great instrument for creating a spooky and eerie atmosphere for this story.
