You’re here 🌻 You found StoryWrangle!
This is the place where coffee breaks become mini adventures and headphones turn into front-row seats.
Welcome to StoryWrangle™—home of the Waffle-Free Storytelling Podcast (stories and nothing but), the StoryWrangle Newsletter, and a growing collection of bedtime/fireside/roadtrip story books, storytelling games, behind-the-scenes bits, and other curious, story-shaped surprises I’m creating just for you.
It’s a place to pull up a chair, breathe out, and enjoy a story or two—whether you’re nine, ninety, or somewhere wildly in between.
If you fancy, join the fireside (aka the mailing list—I call it that because I like to imagine us all sitting around a real one, having proper conversations with curious folks from all over the world).
When a new story goes live, I’ll send you a quick heads-up. Sometimes a little extra too, if the kettle’s on and inspiration strikes.
So—enjoy the site. Enjoy the show. Pick up a book or two. And above all: have a glorious, story-shaped day.
Tina
P.S. All books and stories are and always will be AI-free!

In the summer of 2019, I was looking for a storytelling podcast that got straight to the story, but all I could find were shows that started with 10 minutes of jibber-jabber, chat, and natter (i.e., waffle) before the story.
I got so annoyed, I waved my arms in the air (not sure why), knocked my tea over (unfortunate), and yelled, “Enough with the waffle!!!”
At that moment, “Waffle-Free Storytelling” was born.
New stories every week. For all ages. Some might need PG.
Enjoy, have fun, take a break... For all the stories split into playlists, go here.
Meet Harry Blunt as he breaks all the rules in his mission to return to life to save his daughter from absolute oblivion.
Fireside, bedtime, and roadtrip stories to entertain family and friends no matter how long the drive or bad the weather.
49 ways to get your words out of your head and onto the page. This second edition includes assessments to help you open the doors to your writing world.
My favourite day: morning walk with my dog, breakfast in the garden (got a veggie growing adventure going on there), reading a good book, writing a good book (my own and a client's), helping the team at Peaceful Profits do EPIC work, a dip in the ocean, a mellow evening with special people...
I usually manage about 20% of that, and then the universe and the world in general take over :-) That's life!
Born in Zimbabwe, raised in South Africa, I live in Scotland with my husband and Jack (the dog).
Besides helping people write and publish their books, I'm the host and chief storyteller on the Waffle-Free Storytelling Podcast and author of the associated books.
Other writing shenanigans include short story collections, a novel series (still in the making), and a few books on speed-reading and managing information overload.
For all the books, go to Amazon and search my name: Tina Konstant.
Welcome to my world.
