This book reveal celebrating Jane, Sheila, and Lenore's Narra memoirs at Lester Senior Living was a magical event!!
Check out Narra: www.narrastory.com

What an incredible Book Reveal we had at Lester Senior Living in Whippany, NJ! Celebrating Jane, Lenore, and Sheila with their families, friends, and neighbors was pure joy. We presented each storyteller with their memoir so everyone could witness that first moment of seeing their book come to life. Then each of them read an excerpt and shared a few words.

It was an honor working with Sheila, Lenore, and Jane—and with Keisha McDonald, the wonderful Programming Director at Lester.

If you or someone you love would like to capture your stories and create a beautiful keepsake book, I’d be happy to share how the process works. Your story deserves to be preserved.

🎙 I’m on a podcast!
Big thanks to Rachel Tamilio for inviting me on her Off the Deep End podcast to talk about Narra, the app I created to make it easy for people to capture and share their life stories—without having to write them.

I’ve done a number of podcasts over the years, but this one quickly became a favorite. Rachel is a writer and storyteller too, so she gets it. Our conversation is deeply literary—we talk about writing, storytelling, and the writing life, as well as the profound benefits of sharing life stories: both for the people who lived them, and for the loved ones who receive them.

Rachel is also a warm, generous soul and a thoughtful life coach who’s helped so many. I recommend her, and I truly appreciate her.

🎧 Take a listen if you're interested in storytelling, legacy, or just a great conversation between two people who care about words, memory, and meaning.

Richard Squires has always been passionate about stories! From the time he was a little boy, listening to his grandfather's stories about WWII, to present day, Richard knows a good story when he hears

Happy Father’s Day to all the Fathers, Grandfathers, and Great-Grandfathers out there! Special, memorable people. Here I am a while back with my father and two brothers enjoying ci**rs on a cruise. Now my brothers and I are all fathers, and our father is a grandfather. The Circle of Life. Capture it!
