Eleanor writes in a variety of genres.
During her educational career she was published in several educational journals. All 14 of the educational books she wrote based on the activities she developed with her gifted students in Heard County, Carroll County, and Marietta City School Systems in Georgia are still available from Educational Impressions.
For three years after Eleanor retired, she wrote a monthly column, "Vintage Finds," on antiques and travel for the VINTAGE TIMES, an antiques and collectibles trade paper.
Next, Eleanor turned her pen to poetry. BREAD AND ROSES, TOO was published in 2005. EYE OF THE BEHOLDER (2010) and GREEN THUMBS (2011) are now available. "I Want to Dance" (page 10, BREAD AND ROSES, TOO) won the Gwin Anderson Oliver Poetry Award. Several other poems have been published individually. EYE OF THE BEHOLDER is a nominee for the Georgia Author of the Year Award in Poetry.
THE FRECKLED-FACE PRINCESS, developed for her granddaughter, will be published by Vabella Publishing in the Fall of 2011.
Eleanor also writes essays, short sketches, and short stories. She is a member of the
Carrollton Creative Writers Club.
