Trisha Leigh is from the Midwest, and figures she would have started writing books sooner had anyone thought to tell her it could be an actual job, and not only something fun to do in her spare time. She is the author of three young adult science fiction series (so far), The Last Year, The Cavy Files, and The Historians. She also authors adult books under the name Lyla Payne. Some are romance (Whitman University), most are mysteries (Lowcountry Mysteries), and a few are thrillers (Secrets Don't Make Friends). If you like holiday romance, she's got those, too! Check out Mistletoe & Mr. Right! When she's not writing (ha!) Trisha loves hanging with her dogs, baking bread, and enjoys traveling and staying home with family in equal measure.
