FAQ

  • How do you pronounce your first name?
    Let's break it down. The "Ja" is the hardest part because it's pronounced "Juh" with a "u" that sounds like the "u" in cup and duck. The "leigh" is easy. It's just "lee." When you say it, put the emphasis on the second part, "leigh."
  • Where do you get your ideas?
    I wish I knew. The dragonfly in my novel THE MARK OF THE DRAGONFLY came from a pin I wore on the back of my wedding dress years ago. Did I know back then that I'd use the symbol in a story? Nope. But sometimes bits and pieces of ideas build up in my mind over time, and then they show up in my novels in odd and surprising ways.
  • How do I get published?
    There's no one true answer to this question. It took me over a decade, and the best advice I ever got for breaking in is patience, persistence, and loving the process.
