Good morning, Leigh! Great to learn more about you. Being from Canada, I had to look up Paula Deen. I'm thinking my family would like it if cooking her recipes was my favorite thing to do, too. ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat to meet you, Leigh! Your ongoing prayer request is one we all need.
ReplyDeleteHow fun to get to know you better, Leigh!
ReplyDeleteI, too, love roast beef and mashed potatoes! :)
Leigh - What happened to the other 11 books? Are they stored under the bed, or in the lineup as future releases?
ReplyDeleteLeigh, I love the top photo. It shouts confidence. I used to store books under my bed, but my shoes demanded more space.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see you at RWA this year.
ReplyDeleteI remember the Wolf and the Dove! Loved that book back in the day ;)
ReplyDeleteI remember The Wolf and the Dove, as well! Great to learn more about you, Leigh. I am so impressed that your drink is caffeine-free! I have all I can do to keep it calorie free. I'd never make it without the lead. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice to get acquainted with my fellow LI authors. What a nice interview, Leigh.
ReplyDeleteRoast beef and homemade rolls... Mmmmm...
ReplyDeleteSo good to learn more about you, Leigh. :D
I was a huge fan of Woodiwiss way back when. The Flame and the Flower is the one I remember the most.
ReplyDeleteGreat to learn more about you Leigh.
Leigh, I enjoyed your interview and I just love that you write about Forest Rangers.
ReplyDeleteAren't Paula's recipes awesome? Love them, too!
