The Storysmith ................. Susan Marie Frontczak

My motto is,

"Give me a place to stand, and I will take you somewhere else."

The kind of story I tell - or teach you to tell (historical, inspirational, educational, metaphoric, or reinforcing) - depends on where you want to go. I call myself Storysmith® because, like a blacksmith, I heat up, hammer, and craft a story with strong forces before letting it cool into a tale worth sharing.

Storytelling opens avenues for conveying a message, awakening the imagination, and communicating thoughts and feelings that we otherwise have no way to express. Some of these roads travel back through time: My original Living History programs as Marie Curie, Mary Shelly, Irene Castle, and Eleanor Roosevelt have (to date) carried me to thirty-four of the United States and nine countries.

Life is an adventure, and I look forward to finding out where my stories will transport me next.
