Why Story Cauldron?
I love Story. And I capitalize it here to treat it like a concept, a thing bigger than “a story.” Story is the essence of who we are. In Story Cauldron I explore intriguing and quirky places where storytelling exists.
As an added feature for paid subscribers, you can also read my new serial fiction novel series, The Favor Faeries.

My novels are set in my hometown of St. Louis, MO—a city that is underappreciated and often even vilified. But it is also a beautiful place full of history and intrigue. Every so often I’ll be featuring a cool location in Unseen St. Louis.
