“Leanna Ellis takes a back seat to no one,” says Debbie Macomber. But Leanna knows God is in the driver’s seat as she taxies her two children to and from all their activities, chases her menagerie of pets in and out … in and out ..., tracks down what to cook for dinner (or where to order takeout), and traverses the hills and dales of this writing career. Winner of the National Readers Choice Award, Leanna writes quirky women’s fiction with a splash of romance. Descended from a long line of southerners and patriots, she lives with her family in Texas.
Watch for Once in a Blue Moon, coming in March, 2010.
