Very excited to begin this new year!  I began Big Ryan’s Tall Tales back in January of 2000.  I can officially say Big Ryan’s Tall Tales has been spreading joy and telling original tales for 20 years!  Its been an honor and a privilege to be able to visit thousands of schools and libraries and share my tales with children all over!

Here’s to another 20 years!
