YA Author Janelle Leonard.jpg

I fell in love with reading and writing at an early age (thanks Dad!). The first book I read all by myself was GREEN EGGS AND HAM by Dr. Seuss. When not reading, I'd write stories, print them off, and use a red pen to make them better. I still enjoy this . . . although, my pen is now purple. 

I've always had an overactive, web-twisty imagination. I'm passionate about creating unique worlds and characters that pop off the page. I love the process and excitement that comes when a new plot or character name or even a title pops in my mind.

Jane Austen has always been an inspiration as an author. Love her witty style.

My favorite place to write is in the corner booth of our local diner. They know my name and the coffee is endless! I often forget there are other people around once I get going.
