Please feel free to download these audio files. They contain children’s stories that Gayle Mills and I created for “The Story Shoppe,” a radio program that aired on Marin County’s KTIM several years ago. We not only wrote the scripts, many adapted from myths, fairy tales, and other sources, but we also came up with the sound effects and music. Enjoy!
