I’m Lenore.

Thanks for finding my website. I hope you will enjoy my blogs, photos, videos, and may even be inspired to buy one of my books.

I always loved writing and even before retirement had begun writing my dog’s “memoir.” That became My Leash on Life, notable because it has Foxy’s voice. Foxy, the dog who calls people two-legs. I have continued to write doggie stories in the blog of the same name.

My next project came from a column I wrote for the Napa Valley Register about the humorous challenges of aging. Laugh and Live, Advice for Aging Boomers shares my ability to laugh at such things as how to get out of the bathtub, being called “Sweetie” by waitresses half my age, and the problem all of us oldsters have in remembering names and retrieving words from our failing memories.  I also published a collection of poetry and took on the task of making my real experiences as an educator into a fun novel, Schooled: Confessions of a Rookie Vice Principal. That book is now available as an audiobook with actress Carrie Brewer narrating. My most recent book is a collection of short stories; many of them have been published elsewhere, but Connections: Stories brings them together.  One of my readers commented that my writing travels the wide spectrum of “relationships and unexpected encounters that shape people’s lives.”

Please reach out to me with questions or comments. I am happy to meet with book groups in person or via Zoom.  And, meanwhile, happy reading!
