It’s February at Storyknife and that means snow. Yep, 3 to 5 inches of snow in the forecast today. In fact, we’ve been pretty much snowed in since October 28th when the last bunch of 2021 residents left. It’s almost as if Mother Nature closed the doors and tucked in a fluffy, cold blanket aroundContinue reading “A Valentine’s Day Surprise!”

Share Your Story
Here we are, almost half-way through October. At Storyknife, that means first frost and lots of curious moose. 2020 hasn’t been the year any of us thought it would be. I thought that I’d be telling you of about all of the amazing writers who have been sitting at the desk in the Peggy CabinContinue reading “Share Your Story”
The End of Summer
There’s a new movie adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women coming out in December. (I’ll wait here if you want to go watch the trailer.) Little Women is one of the first books that I read that was written by a woman about women and girls. I loved the book. I took it outContinue reading “The End of Summer”
Eva’s House
Last year Peggy Shumaker and Joe Usibelli came to us and said they wanted to name Storyknife’s main house for Eva Saulitis, teacher, poet and their friend, who died earlier that year.

Storyknife at Anchorage Rotary
[My remarks at Anchorage Rotary yesterday, as follows, and my thanks to Jon Deisher for making it happen.] I have to start with a story, because you know that’s what I do. A guy walks into a bookstore, the Poisoned Pen in Scottsdale, Arizona. He tells the owner, Barbara Peters, that he left his bookContinue reading “Storyknife at Anchorage Rotary”
Happy 2014!
So, not a lot of activity to report. Chiefly, we have yet to receive word from the IRS about our 501c3 status, and we can’t begin serious fund-raising until we have it. To recap, we applied last February. In April they asked us for an additional document, which we provided, which they tookContinue reading “Happy 2014!”
