[[category:Authors - E]]
Leigh Ellwood is the pen name of a writer of mysteries; the name she has chosen for the purpose of writing romance (be it chaste, sensual, or spicy) is derived from the names of two favorite entertainers. She lives and writes in the sweltering South and seeks inspiration in the many people she has met and loved over the years.

Having found moderate success in writing mystery and suspense, Ellwood decided in 2004 to try her hand (and pen) at romance. Ellwood's first attempt in the genre is [[Truth Or Dare - Leigh Ellwood|Truth or Dare]], the first of Ellwood's [[Dareville]] series with [[Phaze]].

She is published with [[Phaze]], [[Liquid Silver Books]], [[Midnight Showcase]], and [[Samhain Publishing, Ltd.]]. She has also contributed to [http://www.playgirl.com Playgirl.com] and [http://www.suitemag.com SUITE].

Leigh Ellwood

2007-05-17T19:33:19Z

Phaze:

[[category:Authors - E]]
Leigh Ellwood is the pen name of a writer of mysteries; the name she has chosen for the purpose of writing romance (be it chaste, sensual, or spicy) is derived from the names of two favorite entertainers. She lives and writes in the sweltering South and seeks inspiration in the many people she has met and loved over the years.

Having found moderate success in writing mystery and suspense, Ellwood decided in 2004 to try her hand (and pen) at romance. Ellwood's first attempt in the genre is [[Truth or Dare]], the first of Ellwood's [[Dareville]] series with [[Phaze]].

She is published with [[Phaze]], [[Liquid Silver Books]], [[Midnight Showcase]], and [[Samhain Publishing, Ltd.]]. She has also contributed to [http://www.playgirl.com Playgirl.com] and [http://www.suitemag.com SUITE].
