NEWS: FEBRUARY 15, 2012

BJ Abraham ('98 of Atlanta graduated from the
storytelling program with a master's degree in 1998. Her
website is currently under construction and is not up to date, BUT
it's
www.bjabraham.com. You can also hear clips
of some of her stories on her CD for grownups at:
www.cdbaby.com/cd/bjabraham
BJ has gotten a lot of mileage out of a story she created as a
class assignment at ETSU: "The Night the Unsinkable Became
the Unthinkable." It's a factual story told from the
perspective of the ship. And she is enjoying doing it this
year, especially -- the 100-year anniversary of that tragedy at
sea.
The weekend of February 17 & 18 in Atlanta/Decatur, she will be
one of the tellers at the 30th Annual Southern Order of
Storytellers Festival. Bill Harley is the featured national
teller. See website for details and if you are in the Atlanta
area, please attend! Send link on to your friends, too.
