Author

Welcome, and thank you for visiting. My name is Francis Joseph LaManna, author and creator of Nooz Buffet. I began Nooz Buffet in 2018 as a creative outlet, and surprisingly, several books followed. I wrote Smorgasbord A Collection of Thoughts Experiences and Stories in 2019, and it was published in 2020, and Smorgasbord 2 Catch Up and Relish was published late in 2021. Although both books are similar to this website in theme, they’re unrelated.

I earned a Bachelor of Arts from William Paterson University in 2003, and I always wanted to be a sports journalist, but I became a teacher of early childhood education instead. Four years later I woke up, and I’ve been on a spiritually driven journey since then.

A lot of great things came to me along the way. Astrology is one, and I’ve been practicing and studying for sixteen years now; the University of Metaphysical Sciences, this website, my books, and the list goes on.

“Had I not had the courage to break the mold and stray from the traditional route, my life would be totally different at this point,” is what I really like to say, but the truth is that my courage hasn’t been tested yet.

I’ve been blessed in other ways and it was actually x-ray vision, intuition, and a high level of awareness that got me to this point. So, here we are. I just earned my second bachelor’s degree (2025), this one in Metaphysics, and this September will be Nooz Buffet’s seventh year on the internet.

It hasn’t been without hard work and dedication, but to see how much Nooz Buffet has grown since 2018 has been absolutely fulfilling, and I owe all of that to you. You’re my readers, my followers, and my supporters, and I do love and appreciate all of you.
