Autorenporträt
Eldot is the nom de plume Leland Alan Hall devised when he decided to take up writing. [ Eldot = L. ] The cipher is easy to decode because it is intended to clarify, not disguise. For thirty terrific years he was a classroom teacher and leader in his profession. Reserving that proud and distinguished heritage as its own chapter is important. The credentials and honors of those years belong to those years. Now retired, he has begun a new chapter-hence, the need for a new "handle." You're in High School Now is his twelfth book. Born in Reno Nevada, Eldot has lived in Oregon most of his life. A 1956 graduate of Corvallis High School, a BA with Honors in English and Classical Languages was awarded in 1960 at the University of Oregon. Post-graduate study began with a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship at the University of Washington. Further study at the U of O Theatre Department and the School of Education qualified him to begin his high school teaching career in 1963. English, Drama and Journalism were his classroom assignments. He served as Department Chairman and after ten years as Drama Director, became active in professional association activity. He served in a number of capacities at local and state levels, culminating in a two-year term as the state president. A lifelong side interest in home construction led to a disabling ear injury in 1992, forcing an early retirement. Unable to tolerate the sound levels of a public high school, he was forced to read and work on his stamp collection while his ears healed. Eventually he found ways to venture out; he designed several porch and deck projects for friends and relatives. His first foray into writing was Ahab, a dramatized version of Moby Dick, which he directed on stage. A collaboration with two colleagues, it was not published. Aside from Department reports, state agency testimony and monthly editorials for the professional newspaper, no writing was published. The urge to write fiction developed quite unexpectedly in 2010. Television news coverage of a child abuse story was so outrageous he felt forced to respond. An irate letter to the editor evolved-morphed-into his first novel, Barr's Meadow. It led to the series entitled Julian's Private Scrapbook. The novels are not autobiographical.
