Leigh Maynard writes gothic romances from her home in Seattle, Washington. A native of the Pacific Northwest, her settings are heavily influenced by the rocky coastline, gritty maritime towns, and soaring evergreen forests that make up the region. Leigh lives with her husband, two daughters, and her cat, Henry. When she’s not writing, she’s reading, skiing, and planning her next trip to the cathedrals and cemeteries of Europe.
