Biography
Leanne (pictured left with her
husband) grew up in Wisconsin. They lived in South Carolina for
several years while her husband was stationed there in the Navy. She
and her husband of thirty-nine years now live in Florida. They have
one daughter, one son and daughter-in-law, one grandson, and three
granddaughters.
Having worked at three newspapers
within the state of Florida, she loved the entire creative process.
Her forte was editing.
She enjoys reading, writing, and
traveling. Most recently she traveled to Norway to do research for
an upcoming Viking epic. The year before, she traveled to Ireland,
where she fell in love with the beautiful countryside and its Viking
history. She’s also traveled to England, Spain, France, and Hawaii
in search of stories waiting to be told! Her absolute favorite place
to visit, however, is the lovely country of Scotland. Its beauty is
beyond words, and the friendliness of its people is incomparable. In
Florida, she can often be found at Disney World with her
grandchildren (although everyone knows they are merely an excuse for
her to visit).
While doing genealogy research for
her husband, she fell in love with Scottish history. That led to the
novel HIGHLAND WISHES, a historical novel about Scotland’s War for
Independence. Its sequel, HER
HIGHLAND ROGUE, was released in 2005. She currently has several
other novels in progress. KEEPER OF MY HEART, a novel about the
Battle of Culloden and its aftermath is her current work in
progress. THE
POWER AND THE PASSION is the Viking epic. The third story in the
Scottish War for Independence trilogy is also being worked on. In
addition, Leanne is participating in several anthologies. The first,
NO LAW AGAINST LOVE, is a romantic anthology of silly laws still on
the books. Proceeds from this anthology are being donated to breast
cancer research and treatment.
She is currently Secretary of Hearts
Through History Romance Writers and ESPAN. She is newsletter editor
for Outreach International's, The Outreacher. In addition, she is a
member of Romance Writers of America, RWA Online, Celtic Hearts
Romance Writers, First Coast Romance Writers, Central Florida
Romance Writers, Florida Writers of America, Historical Writers
Association, and Mystic Castle.
She welcomes comments from her
readers.
