We are excited to present, for the first time at Seanachie Nights, Sheila Arnold Jones of Hampton, VA. She is a Professional Storyteller, Character Interpreter and Teaching Artist. Through her company, ‘History’s Alive!’, Sheila has provided storytelling programs, historic character presentations, Christian monologues, dramatic / creative writing workshops, professional development for educators and inspirational/motivational speeches at schools, churches, libraries, professional organizations and museums, in 29 states since 2003.

She has two books: a picture book, ‘Weeping Willow’, or, ‘Why the Leaves Change their Colors’, and an historical fiction using biblical persons, ‘David’s Mighty Man: Benaiah’. She also has two storytelling CDs, ‘Mini, Many, Minnie Tales’ and ‘Hands Wide Open’. An new addition to Sheila’s titles is ‘Historical consultant’ – helping museums and exhibit designers find the story, and how to share it, from historical documents, artifacts, buildings and the historical use of land and water.
