Thereby Hangs a Tale
www.therebyhangsatale.com
Thereby Hangs a Tale explores stories that form around an idea, an object, an image, a place, an experience. One story sparks another, igniting a chain reaction of diverse voices. You know the kind of story we're talking about. The kind where you're all ears, hanging on every syllable. It doesn't matter if it's fact or fiction, about things great or things mundane, if it makes you laugh or makes you cry. After all, the key to a good story is in the telling.
