III — The bard's tale

Oh — and the bard writes books.

Author — writing as James McCann — of YA and middle-grade novels (Orca, Crwth, Iron Mask), with two decades of storytelling workshops in schools and libraries, and a library tech who facilitates a recording studio. The maker's craft didn't come from nowhere (probably).
