Part 3: Danyelle Ferguson, Lynn Parsons, and Tristi Pinkston

As the last hours of our first day at the LDStorymakers Conference came to a close, we were able to speak with authors Danyelle Ferguson and Lynn Parsons about their new book, (dis)Abilities and the Gospel. Tristi Pinkston also took a few minutes to share some of her thoughts about the LDStorymakers Conference. This time we remembered we had a camera!

Time Flies

One month ago today I was enjoying my first day ever at LDStorymakers Conference in Provo, UT. The sights and sounds have faded a bit in memory, but I was taken back to relive the excitement and energy of the conference listening to the podcasts that will be posted today and tomorrow. Part 1 of the LDStorymaker podcasts is available here.

The two days I spent at the Conference were a much needed step “out of the norm” for me, and it’s no surprise that within a few days of stepping back into my life, LIFE took over, derailing my plans to get the large amount of material we collected during those two days posted within a week. But that’s okay. After a month, it’s nice to revisit the whole conference experience again. Take a few moments on this one month anniversary of the 2010 Storymakers Conference and relive it with me. It’s almost like being there all over again.

Part 2

In Part 2 of our LDStorymakers Conference 2010 podcast, we meet up with Josi Kilpack and Heather (H.B.) Moore. They are two of the sweetest women and are always willing to take a few minutes to speak with LDSWBR. Both Heather and Josi taught classes at the LDStorymakers Conference. Josi dishes out some goods about her next book, Key Lime Pie, due to be released in August 2010. Heather shares her experiences with researching and writing her first nonfiction book, Women of the Book of Mormon: Insights and Inspirations.

Old Friends, New Friends

One of the best parts about the LDStorymakers Conference is meeting up with old friends. Another is making new friends who will be old friends next year. Part 1 of our LDStorymakers Podcast series is a collection of interviews with L.T. Elliot, Karen Hoover, Donald J. Carey, Rebecca Talley, and Heather Justesen. I was so caught up in talking with these wonderful people that I completely forgot I had my camera with me, so the only picture I have of any of them is LDSWBR with Heather. Lesson learned for next year!

The Podcast That Started It All

Shanda — Sat, 18 Feb 2006 18:00:10 +0000

Listening to these first two segments was a trip down memory lane, but it also made me realize how far we’ve come. We no longer talk to the room while the built in mic on my iMac picks up every bump and noise we made. We no longer have that nervous, “don’t mess up!” fear in our voices. We also don’t have the same rigid format either. I still remember the relief I felt when we finished recording this first episode! (9/18/2009)

Podcast for February 18, 2006
Segment 1
In this show we discussed Dorothy Keddington’s book Aisling of Eire. If you are interested in reading this book, check your local library. If you are unable to find it there, ask your librarian about intra- and inter-library loans.

Segment 2

In this segment we discussed The Lodger by Liz Adair. Sheila also introduced us to the author/illustrator Patricia Polacco in the Children’s Literature Highlight. If you would like to see Patricia Polacco’s work visit her website at www.patriciapolacco.com.
