My name is Lenore and short stories are my thing. I wrote my first stories as a child. Well, I was five or six, and I dictated them to my mother, who typed them on a manual typewriter. We put them in a folder with a picture on it of a seagull in flight. Even though that folder was lost long ago, I still think about it. I kept on writing stories over the years, and I finally decided to begin publishing in 2019. I've published three books of short stories so far and even tried my hand at writing a novel in 2023.

NEW!
The Gathering is a mystery with a hint of Gothic literature and a hint of Agatha Christie.
Available as a single story ebook on Amazon Kindle.
My debut novel, "The Bellwood Legacy" is out now! It's a contemporary supernatural thriller with Gothic overtones, and it features a captivating 19th-century romance.
I also have a novella out, a fun rom-com called "Getting Austin." The main character, Tess, has multiple sclerosis, which I also have, and she feels like it's making her less attractive to the opposite sex. Having given up on relationships, she fumbles her way through trying to seduce Austin, the law student who helps her widowed mother with yard work. This yields unexpected results that are sometimes amusing, sometimes heartbreaking, and ultimately show Tess that attraction is not so biased.
