“I have no taste for either poverty or honest labor, so writing is the only recourse left for me.”
Hunter S. Thompson, The Proud Highway: Saga of a Desperate Southern Gentleman, 1955-1967

Work

Once a humble public servant, Eleanor now serves as a senior member of Limited Run Games' marketing team. They maintain their youth and intelligence by siphoning it away from their good friend and colleague, Jared Petty. It's a real Picture of Dorian Gray.

Their pursuit of a career in fiction has been hamstringed by her sole interest in writing very weird, very niche stories about aliens, witches, video golf, and post-apocalyptic-gender-non-conforming cowboys. But not all at once. That's too much.

Origins

Eleanor spent their childhood in rural Rice County, MN on a horse farm. From stints as a teen menace, a midwestern liberal arts undergrad, toilet cleaner of the upper class, and underpaid library worker, they've walked a strange path that carries into every freaky little story they tell.A writer since they could pick up a crayon, Eleanor has published short stories in some tiny magazines and continues to toil away at genre fiction projects. They like to write about gay cowboys, handsome alien men, and teen witches with attitude.They are now based in Raleigh, NC with a pretty cush long-term gig in the gaming industry.
