The writers behind this newsletter.
I'm the author of three books: How to Write Compelling Stories from Family History, the memoir Jumping Over Shadows, and a children’s book. Occasionally, I offer online workshops, but mainly, I write my Substack The Past and the Present.
I'm the "ringleader" for Projectkin.org. As a community, we capture, preserve, and share our stories in every conceivable form. We inspire and encourage one another in posts, events, and conversations.
Author, Historian, Genealogist and Story Collector
