Leigh Ellwood

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, Venus Press, Silk's Vault Publishing, Midnight Showcase, and Samhain Publishing, Ltd.. She is also a contributor to Playgirl.com and SUITE.
