He ignored the relationship of his family and retreated into his own, existing without a care in the world.

Upon meeting her, his life spirals into conflict with romance, racism, and conspiracy. ELEANOR LIGGENS is a Northeast Louisiana University graduate with a BA degree in Education. Ex-Army Captain. I love playing outdoor sports, and I love children. However, my greatest passion is writing. I found that writing is so much fun. The beauty of writing is that you can tell a story the way you want to. The book can be country, it can be slang, it can be grammatically incorrect, but most of all, it has to be understandable, relatable, impressionable, and interesting. That's why I enjoy writing so much. It gives me the freedom to express myself however I so desire. That's why when I write, I make a commitment to ensure it is a compelling story.
