About Leonora
Leonora is a proud Yorkshire lass, hailing from the town with the smelliest water in Europe.
By starlight, Leonora weaves stories for children aged nine plus, about brave girls, boys and horses in the 1800s, with a mythical fantasy twist.
In her writing, Leonora draws upon her awkward childhood, her love of history and her upbringing in the beautiful Georgian town of Harrogate.
She focuses on themes of family belonging, kindness, forgiveness and making the most of what you get in life, even if it’s not what you wanted.
Daybreak changes Leonora into a tea-fuelled muddling mum of two, and corporate executive.
