Please Welcome L.Leander, Author of Inzared

The year is 1854. Inzared Romanoff (better known as Inzared, Queen of the Elephant Riders) is entertaining a guest at her campsite in the woods. There is a bright red and yellow Gypsy wagon called a Vardo parked nearby and a big black horse grazes in the meadow. Inzared is a great cook and pretty good talker too. Let’s eavesdrop on the conversation:

Squirrel Stew and Dumplings

“Hi, my name is Inzared Romanoff. Wasn’t always that way – grew up Bertha Maude Anderson but never was too fond of that name. Always sounded plain and I wanted something fancy. Was raised on a poor dirt farm in the Appalachian hills of North Carolina. Dreamed of travelin’ and seein’ the world someday and now I have.”

“You see, in 1849 the circus came to Brower’s Gap, the town about three hours down the mountain – the place we traded and sold our eggs to the local storekeep. Whole band of Gypsy circus performers came in and we got tickets to the show. Never saw anythin’ so amazin’ in my life. ‘Course, I was only sixteen at the time.”
