I am an award-winning former newspaper journalist from Mississippi with 17 years of experience. I currently live in Germany, where I do some freelance writing and teach English. I hold two degrees. My first is a bachelor's degree in sociology/ philosophy from Millsaps College, Jackson, MS, and a degree in business administration from Belhaven College (now University). I have had three fellowships. One was for a leadership traning program. One was as a newspaper reporter for a week-long seminar on covering nonprofits. The third was from NEAR Foundation to learn about blockchain technology, which is the subject of my book.

As a child, I was mesmerized by story tellers and my mother always made sure I had a supply of books close at hand while I was growing up. Sitting on her lap and listening to her read to me is one of my earliest memories. I remember drawing pictures and then making up stories to go with them, and as I got older, my stories became longer and more fanciful. At age ten, I began to write them down, and when I was twelve, I wrote my first "book," all handwritten. I wrote during rainy days in gym class when we all had to stay in the locker room and sit on benches. I had a small cult following of friends who waited for me to finish each page which I would then pass down the row. When I got a typewriter for my thirteenth birthday, I typed up my "masterpiece" and put it in a 3-ring binder then hid it away. The story was actually quite silly. Having a typewriter, however, made it possible for me to write even more, which I did on almost a daily basis.

But, as happens to many young, aspiring writers, reality grabbed me and when I graduated from high school and headed to college then into the work force, the dream of becoming an author washed away. It wasn't until I turned 62 and experienced my 3rd job layoff, that I decided to try and make my writing dream come true.

Writing has become an addiction to me, and I'm finding that ideas for other scenarios and characters keep flooding my brain, with the characters screaming, "Write about me! Write about me!"

And, that's what I intend to do.

I’m Anna - Leigh, author of The Older Woman, my first novel in the trilogy for Jamie and Jess, whom I’m sure you will love almost immediately!

When I started to write the The Older Woman I never envisioned that it would lead to anything other than a simple exercise at the start of Lockdown from a conversation with a dear friend, Mr Jarra Brown, who is also a published author.

Fast forward 4 years and here we are, about to start out on a new journey as a published author, and to think that I didn’t own a laptop, well not until Mid-July of 2020 when the shops re-opened, so as hard as this is to believe and it still amazes me now to think about it, I actually wrote The Older Woman, Ring of Hope and the first few chapters of ‘Jamie’ on my mobile phone!!!

So for now, I’d just like to say, I hope you love ‘The Older Woman’ as much as I enjoyed writing it and keep a look out for future releases

Take care, much love.

An Italian American born in New York and living in Milan, Italy. As a sci-fi fan, I enjoy interesting stories that fire the imagination. I love the genres of science fiction, action/adventure, and thrillers. I lose myself reading compelling novels and have taken inspiration to create characters and expound my stories from being captivated by reading.

My journey to creative writing has just happened. As ideas entered my mind, I began visualizing scenes and the people in them. As my imagination added detail and depth, I put my fingers on my keyboard and started writing. Creativity became a cherished hobby at first.

Optimistic views of the future through art always interest me, as I believe ours will be bright.
