Story Telling

   

      Friends were driving to my house a few years ago, when their little boy looked out the car window and asked, "Are we in Serena's world yet?" They have teased me about that ever since, maintaining that I create worlds with words that both adults and children want to enter.
 
      I hope that's true, because my favorite thing in the world is to sit here on my front porch, writing stories and sharing them with my friends.
 
      So settle back into my old, bent-hickory rocker. Close your eyes and let the peace of my Appalachian farm wash over you. Enjoy the scent of early morning honeysuckle. Let your worries drain away while I tell you a story...
