Hello friends, fellow writers, young writers, teachers, and organizational leaders.  I am glad you have taken the time to drop in on my web site to learn more about me.  I hope you find everything you need here, but if you have any questions or need more information do not hesitate to contact me.  On this site you will see what I have done in the past, what I am working on now, and the many events I have participated in involving writing workshops. 

There is a lot of time in between a few events only because I have taken some time off here and there to raise my children and be a mom and wife first.  I have spent much of my free time writing, editing and taking the pictures for my children’s school newspaper, I run my son’s Cub Scout Pack and many other school committees which would be great to get paid for, but who is complaining J  

When life allows, I am writing in hopes to have another book out there in the future and I am teaching my writing skills and knowledge to young writers who will one day become authors of their own.  I love mentoring young people and letting them know that it is possible to follow your dreams and become who and what they want to be.  I think living your passion is the best thing anyone can do for themselves.  Here’s to passion in life.  Dreams can come true if you believe in yourself.

Keep me posted on your dreams,

Leigh –Anne
