After a dragon bonds with a healer, the only way she’ll survive military training is with help from the dragon prodigy, a man she absolutely hates…

The discourse surrounding the #RainbowLaces campaign has honestly become so frustrating & exhausting. I’m sick of the ignorance & I literally don’t know how to explain the importance of being tolerant, when it’s something grown ass adults should already have learned 😮💨😭

Spent today revisiting my ‘All that Glitters’ outline, as I wasn’t happy with the pacing & want to fix it before I submit my final round piece. Brain is fried but I’m so much happier with it. #amwriting

After spending this week constantly refreshing my email, I’m delighted (and still a little stunned) that ‘All That Glitters’ has made the shortlist for the Penguin Michael Joseph Prize😭🥳
This really is the book of my heart & I’m so happy knowing that people have seen its potential! 🥰

Late to the party as always🤣 so I guess I should awkwardly introduce myself. 👋🏻 I’m Leigh & I write queer contemporary romance novels. I always have too many WIP’s on the go and so things are generally v. chaotic around here! Sharing a pic of my furbabies, Archer & Beanie instead of my face 🥰
