About the Author

Mini Biography of Sharon Dorival 17.08.2017 ─ Sharon Dorival SweetShabin Camrose, Alberta www.sharondorival.com INTRODUCTION Since 1985, it has been my privilege to meet with and listen to storytellers from around the world. Most times our encounters were simply to sit and talk about stories that have affected our lives. Sometimes it was just to encourage each other to participate in oral storytelling. Other times it was to encourage others to pick up the pen or record a snippet of a song or recite a poem. As a result, these people have shared wonderful stories with me- Stories about roosters and children, airplanes and typewriters. Stories about fireworks and festivals, happiness and challenges. Many of my collected works are based on the stories that the villagers of Colihaut have shared with me during our time together. Most of them are accounts of things that have occurred, but others are fictions rooted in personal experiences and still others are stories told as poems. All of the stories are filled with the wisdom and love shared over the course of many years. May you learn as much as I have from these threads of love and may they bring you as much joy as well.
