The storyteller
Ordinary lives.
Impossible mysteries.
I’m Stephen Jeffrey—an author, publisher and community storyteller based in Alberta, Canada. I grew up in the Canadian Maritimes, surrounded by the ocean, forests, barn cats, crows and people who knew how to tell a good tall tale.
My stories begin close to home. Then the impossible arrives.
