Leah Marie Brown Bio:
I am an American writer
with a penchant for Paris and all things pink!
Before writing novels, I
worked as a print journalist for a Pulitzer prize winning newspaper and served
in the United States Air Force as a Radio and Television Broadcaster.
An avid traveler, I have
had adventures and mishaps from London to Tokyo, which I write about on my
blog, On Life, Love & Accidental Adventures, and
in my contemporary romantic series, The It Girls.
I was once a collector
of truly useless bric-a-brac and cheesy tee-shirts. My cheesiest? A tee
with a cartoon Jesus riding a surf board and the words, ”And on the eighth
day, Jesus went surfing in Greece.”
BIO
Today, I prefer to
gather friendships and memories as travel souvenirs.
I live in the shadow of
Pike’s Peak Mountain, near Colorado Springs, with my family and shamefully
pampered poodles.
In my free time, I like
to watch movies, read, and snap photographs. You can view my photography
by clicking on the Adventures tab above or by following me on Instagram.
I love to hear from
readers, so send me a note! Or connect with me
on Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram!
Falling in love is the
ultimate faux pas.
Anything can happen in a
year! Unemployed, homeless, and left at the altar, Vivia Perpetua Grant could
see her future as a flannel pajama wearing spinster—or worse, a bag lady
shuffling around Golden Gate Park. But for a girl obsessed with rock music,
Chinese take-out, and the color pink, misfortune is another word for opportunity.
Vivia has found her niche as an international travel writer and the
long-distance lover of Jean-Luc de Caumont, an über-hot French literature
professor and competitive cyclist.
Still, even with so much
going right, Vivia can’t help but wonder if something isn’t missing. The long
distance thing is taking its toll on a girl who didn’t have that many tokens to
begin with. And fate seems to be tempting her at every turn, first with a hunky
Scottish helicopter pilot, and then with a British celebrity bad boy…Will Vivia
continue to keep it real or will she discover some old habits die hard?
