Zazoo Plazz Book
Sneak Peek!
In her stories - and yours - Leslie Placzek excavates both the humor and heartfelt pathos of life experienced as a "Part-time Superhero, Full-time Mom" - an experience all of us, as moms, dads, aunts, uncles, and neighbors - can recognize in ourselves.
We all play so many parts, wear so many hats, experience so many unforgettable life moments - and Leslie's adventures as Zazoo Plazz celebrate those memories, with humorous and touching notes of nostalgia and pop culture, and the multiple roles we all play - that will spark your own recognition of the superhero within you (your unique strengths).
All who juggle caring for others and fulfilling their soul's mission - particularly women - will recognize themselves in the quirky quest of Leslie's late-blooming post-Boomer Zazoo - to share her wisdom in the world, become her own superhero, tame her big '80s hair, and find an outfit appropriate for running a household, a business, and a half-marathon.
The old adage "laughter is the best medicine" is increasingly backed up by recent medical studies.
"We come through tough times together with humor - it is essential to our resilience as humans," she says.
Humor also strengthens the immune system - particularly when shared with others. And, we multitasking superheroes may be happy to hear that, according to the Mayo Clinic, a good laugh increases oxygen intake to the heart, lungs, and muscles, eases tension, relieves pain, and lowers blood pressure.
Leslie invites you to enjoy The Audacious Adventures of Zazoo Plazz - to explore this site, join her growing global online community and online events, and share your own stories - so we can celebrate the superhero in you.
Leslie Bilodeau Placzek has lived most of her life in the Greater Hartford, Connecticut area, recording snippets for books in her head, her heart, and lots of top-secret notebooks. Her writing has appeared in The New York Times Money and Business section and the Journal Inquirer (Manchester, CT), among other publications.
It is a rare gift - to capture the humor in everyday moments...and, like other great comediennes Erma Bombeck... and Tina Fey, Leslie Placzek is breaking onto the humor scene with that special gift, in this debut book showcasing the "Audacious Adventures" of her alter-ego "Zazoo Plazz."

This book was meowy, meowy funny, I laughed so hard my whiskers hurt, but I am not a fan of that dog on the cover. Next time, you should write a story about a cat. Now, it's time for my nap.
