She spent years as Pennywhistle the Party Clown for children of all ages. In her spare time, she enjoys reading and writing, singing, hiking, swimming, and gardening. She has two daughters -- Viktoria-Leigh and Kassidy -- and three dogs with her husband of 29 years, Steve. She says being a writer has opened up so many worlds for her creatively. She has been blessed to make awesome new friends who also dream big and crazy.

Liebster Award

According to their site, the Liebster Award is given to bloggers by other bloggers to show appreciation and recognize contributions to the online community. The earliest case of the award goes as far back as 2011. Incidentally, Liebster translates to Dearest in German. Eleanor was introduced to M.C. Grimm, who nominated her, through a Facebook group page called “A Novel Idea: An Online Book Club.” Discussions are held during the reading month and wonderful giveaways are also offered. Authors have the opportunity to receive feedback and exposure on their books.

“Thank you, Mikey Grimm, for nominating me and helping keep this great movement going where authors help authors. Let's continue to inspire each other and the world with our own personal brain films and thrill rides."
