I'm thrilled to welcome Brenda Laurel as a featured storyteller for Fray Cafe Sedona! Brenda is a Ph.D. theatre type who stumbled into computer games in 1976. Her many forays include producing action games, designing VR worlds, creating a company to make computer games for girls, and writing books. Despite obvious talent, she remains economically challenged.

Here's a sneak peek of the story she'll be telling at Fray Cafe Sedona: "Excuse me, there's something in my drink." When she swooshed into Jack's Ladies' Bar all blonde and curly and the only woman in a skirt, I knew we were destined to spend some interesting time together. My journey with Linda Rose from Columbus, Ohio, to a bar in a run-down Tacoma hotel was, as all journeys are, punctuated by some revelations about identity.
