Leigh Macfarlane is a proud Canadian (eh!) author of both fiction and non-fiction books who is fortunate enough to live in California North -- the gorgeous Okanagan Valley of British Columbia. Since Leigh already lives in one of the most beautiful places in the world, many of her novels are set locally. In Leigh's books, you will be transported to orchards, vineyards, ski hills, ranches, beaches, art galleries, athletic fields and waterfront cafes. Well, maybe not ski hills. Rumour has it Leigh is afraid to drive in the snow. Writing as The Backwoods Writer, Leigh is launching a series of How To Write books in 2024. The first of these is The Backwoods Writer, Writing a Novel. Expect one new book on writing a year for the next few years. The first, on how to write a novel, launches September 2024. Leigh is also developing online companion courses on writing subjects. Interested? Sign up to receive The Backwoods Writer News at The Backwoods Writer website. Post-Covid, Leigh has felt drawn to write non-fiction books of both spiritual and practical subject matter. These books are being written under the pen-name, L.M. Penner. The first of these books, Beer Drinking, God Talking Girl, launches summer of 2024. When not writing, Leigh is mom to four wonderful, not so small, humans, one yap-monster dog, a gorgeous but aging cat and a fish whose quality of life appears to be declining. Once, Leigh fell off a horse, wrapped the back of her knee around a telephone pole, had horse liniment applied to her injury, and was proclaimed part horse by the race horse trainer who had fixed her up. To date, this claim has not been proven false.
