Worried about the writing part?

Hello, and welcome! Tina Konstant here—author, ghostwriter, storyteller, animal nut, wanna-be fiddle player, and working out how to be human on this weird, wild planet.

This is my home on the web, where I gather all my books, ghostwriting projects, storytelling shenanigans, and publishing work—including my work with Peaceful Profits.

I’ve never done just one thing. And now that I’ve been on the planet a while, I’ve decided that’s perfectly okay. I follow ideas. I chase stories. I build what feels good—and a lot of it lands here.

On this site, you’ll find: All my books (including the Port Harker series and Waffle-Free Storytelling). Speed-reading guides. Help for writers. And a gentle invitation to join my email list for updates, thoughts, and behind-the-scenes bits.

If you are looking for ONE thing, and if that one thing is writing your personal or family story, you’ll want to drop around to StoryWrangle™.

So—have a wander, pick up a book or two, and above all:

Have a beautiful, story-shaped day.

— Tina

P.S. All books and stories are and always will be AI-free!

The Show's The Thing...

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.

Featured Books

Book 1 in the Port Harker Series

I’ve always been one for imagining that there are a whole lot of possibilities and adventures to be had after death. There seems to be hell of a lot of bother in this life for nothing to happen next. That's what this series is about.

HAVE A LOOK

Book 6 in the Waffle-Free Story Collection

Where the podcast is 100% waffle-free, there's life between the stories in the books. Recipes, a haiku or two, random facts and storytelling games that’ll help you keep friends, family, and kids entertained, no matter how wild the weather or random the audience. Enjoy!

TAKE A PEEK

Life Between The Covers

This collection of tales were originally split between four books. All in one book now, the stories take you from birth to death, through good and evil, and include a healthy mix of odd, weird, unnatural, and random human behaviours, expectations, and natures. It’s life, after all.

ABOUT The AUTHOR

Tina Konstant

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.
