Hello Happy People,
Today Dianne chats with the incredible, Leah Ann Brown. She discovered her love of fantasy as a young girl growing up in Oregon. Spending hours outside in nature, playing make believe, her imagination opened up. It was further fed by her mother and grandmother who shared their stories and books. These things all created the perfect climate for her to fall in love with fantasies and storytelling.
Leah created her first picture book while still in grade school. Her passion for storytelling only grew over the years and she dreamed of one day being a published author. She made the decision to make her dream a reality. She hopes her journey will inspire generations that follow to overcome their own obstacles to achieve their ow dreams.
Overcoming personal obstacles is something Leah is very familiar with in her own journey. As a girl, she struggled with dyslexia but refused to let her diagnosis keep her from her dreams. Instead she let her challenges fuel her, sometimes having to work harder than fellow students. Her hard work paid off, besides graduating high school in the top of her class, Leah went on to earn a Pharmacy Tech license and a massage license.
While Leah was doing well academically, she was still hesitant to finally write a book. She wondered if someone with dyslexia would be able to write a book. But she fell back on her on the fantasy stories of her youth for encouragement. So many of the characters in her favorite books were able to overcome incredible obstacles, so why couldn't she do the same?
Armed with a determination to inspire young readers through her storytelling, Leah wrote Chronicles of the Hidden Realms, Return of the Light which is available through her website. The women had a wonderful time discussing Leah's book. Don't wait ... go listen now.
