About the author

Hello Readers! So glad you are here. Thank you for checking me out. Just a little bit of information about me, Eleanor Liggens, a Northeast Louisiana University graduate with a BA degree in Education. Ex-Army Captain. I love playing outdoor sports and I love children. However, my greatest passion is writing. I started writing back in the year 2000 and enjoyed it greatly. I found that writing is so much fun. As they say, everyone has a story to tell. The beauty of writing is that you can tell a story the way you want to, it can be country, it can be slang, it doesn’t even have to be grammatically correct language, but it does have to understandable, relatable, impressionable, and interesting. That’s why I enjoy writing so much. It gives me the freedom to express myself however I so desire. That’s why when I write, I want you, the reader, to be right there in the story with me, every step of the way. I don't want you to feel as if you are reading, I want you so engaged in the plot, that putting the book down is out of the question, until you find out what happens at the end.

My promise to you: Every book I write will be interesting, intriguing, and thrilling. If you read one of my books, please give me an honest review. Like or dislike, please comment and rank it between 1 to 5 stars, five being the best. Your comments help me. An honest review will assist me in becoming a more skilled writer if I know your honest feelings toward a particular book. Thank you so much in advance.
