Leandra Dohman is a twenty-something busy bee. She wrote her first story when she was eight years old, and it was about a bunch of elves making blackberry jam in the forest. She loves to spend her days reading, writing, and hiking. She is a die-hard Gilmore Girls fan who never falls asleep without her socks on. She never misses a TV match of her favourite soccer team—go Gunners! Every now and then she likes to sit down in the middle of her room and stare at her bookshelves for about fifteen minutes while having a glass of cheap wine. Bus rides inspire her and make her want to write books about real people—how they fall in love, how they fall apart, and ultimately, how they survive.
