Still Going: Native American Legends and Contemporary Stories
My mom was one of the very first Head Start teachers on the reservation, and she always worked with three-year olds. I would visit her in the classroom, and without warning, she'd walk out, leaving me with 15 preschoolers. Out of desperation, I would tell them a legend and teach them the song and dance that went with it. It wasn't until much later I realized my mom was forcing me to use the Stories I had been taught. More recently I've worked with the National Science Foundation's Flagship Project, Synergy. I was asked to teach STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) professors at over a dozen colleges how to use Storytelling to more effectively communicate complex concepts about technology to a general audience. I was taught that some Stories are so powerful, they can begin to tell YOU.

Currently I
have been writing more about concepts of gender identity and sexuality. I’ve
also begun working with medical research on the use of Storytelling in the treatment
of opioid abuse.

For more information on my fiction in anthologies,
please click on the link to my author page on Amazon. For reasons Amazon
refuses to discuss, the print version of my novel, Memoir of a Reluctant Shaman, Amazon has chosen to list at a price
of hundreds of dollars. I’ve requested
several times the company correct the error, but I suppose Jeff B. is too busy opening
new Amazon headquarters outside of Seattle to change the price. This is why I’ve
listed non-Amazon sources on some of my other works: https://www.amazon.com/Ty-Nolan/e/B00BEYE4YE/ref=ntt_dp_epwbk_0
And yes, as you might notice from the cane I'm holding, I'm legally blind, but I try not to let that hold me back from writing.
