Leisl Leighton is a tall red head with an overly large imagination. As a child, she identified strongly with Anne of Green Gables, and like Anne, is a voracious reader and born performer. It came as no surprise when she went on to a career as a performer, script writer, script doctor, stage manager and musical director for cabaret and theatre restaurants.

After starting a family, Leisl stopped performing and began writing the stories plaguing her dreams. She is addicted to sci-fi and romance books and DVDs, she sometimes sings in a choir, loves to ski and horse ride, and was President of Romance Writers of Australia from 2014�2017. When she’s not writing, she helps other writers make their manuscripts shine.

I think it partially comes about because writers expect for perfection to flow out and onto the page, where the reality is it's more like word vomit in the first draft. I don't expect perfection when I write and I don't sit for long periods trying to find the right word or phrase to express what I want. If I can't find it quickly, I highlight and move on. Editing is where getting it right needs to happen, and given my brain is working differently when editing, it's more likely I will find what I need to make it work - and if I don't, that's where a good editor and Beta readers come in to help you get it right.

“You can't force love, I realized. It's there or it isn't. If it's not there, you've got to be able to admit it. If it is there, you've got to do whatever it takes to protect the ones you love.”
Richelle Mead, Frostbite
