Author has written 26 stories for Family, Humor, Life, Mythology, General, Supernatural, War, Love, Biography, Essay, Historical, Friendship, Politics, and Religion.

UPDATE: HI! It's been forever! How's the family? So, I'm back and updating some old stuff--and some new stuff. I'm taking an "Advanced Composition" class, which is like a writing class only the people in it are cooler (some of them write on their pants. yeah, it's that kind of people). And, thus, I have some new things. And some old things. Anyway, check out my new stuff.

Age: Young enough to be naively positive as to the fate of the planet. Old enough to realise it's just me being naive.

Location: My study. Were I do my Vamp Time (locking myself away from any source of light for hours on end, snarling visciously at anyone who attempts to enter, and then complaining when I have under-eye circles). Yeah. It's intense.

Likes: Well... I'm a total anglophile, and I adore glam rock. I'm also a fan of hugs and chocolate.

Dislikes: Injusice, Intolerance, and Idiocy. Because it just pisses me off. Seriously, people, you should know better.

As for my name: Lenora as in Lenore... And Elinor (Dashwood)... which forms Eleonor or, as I prefer Eleonora. In turn, that is shortened to Leonora and eventually to Lenora. The "a" at the end also sounds much more me. And the year 1854 is Oscar Wilde's birthday... Thus, my three favorite authors: Edgar Allan Poe, Jane Austen, and Oscar Wilde. Because they're awesome. :P

AVATAR: This one is a gorgeous and inspirational picture of Alan Cumming. Because I love that guy.

And... NOBODY HAS TAKEN MY POLL YET! I made a poll for Oscar Wilde. If you know who he is, please take it. If you don't know who he is... We Need To Get You to a Barnes&Nobles ASAP!

:) Bye for now! :)
