Leigh Macfarlane is a Canadian author of romance and romantic suspense novels and of travel books. Leigh is the mother of four adult children, and she is the pet momma of Sabertooth the cat and Lily the dog. Her first job was mucking out stalls at a Standardbred race track, and there have been an abundance of different employers since then. Every job taught something new, and every job added usable content for Leigh's novels. Leigh considers herself fortunate to live in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia, and even if she doesn't quite live on the waterfront, she is barely five minutes away. 

Leigh's passion for photography shows up in her travel books. Some of Leigh's prints are available for purchase. 

Writing as The Backwoods Writer, Leigh is able to utilize her Master's of Fine Arts Degree in Creative Writing to pass her knowledge about writing and editing on to other creatives.
