Hey! Welcome! I’m glad you’re here. I’m Leanna Ellis, author of stories that are easy to share—
between grandmothers, daughters, and the women in between.

Sweet, swoony, laugh-out-loud closed-door romances with heartfelt emotion, small-town roots, and happy endings you can count on. From small towns to big adventures, my stories celebrate love, life, and all the chaos (the good kind) in between.

Stories meant to be passed down. ☕

I’ve been a storyteller for as long as I can remember. Many Christmases ago, Santa brought me a red typewriter (remember those?). I typed away for hours with that Oxford blue ink—probably more ‘REDRUM’ than any great prose. 😂 Somewhere along the way, my sister encouraged me to write, probably because I was always scribbling in my journal or bugging her to play make-believe.

📚Books are like old friends—always there when you need them, and often pair well with coffee. My collection is ever-expanding—I might need an intervention or, at the very least, more bookshelves. There’s nothing quite like the thrill of browsing in a bookstore and hunting for my next great read. My love language is wrapped up in books (and sourdough). Because who doesn’t love a good story (or bread and butter)?

Writing is my way of giving back—a love letter to readers like you. I hope my stories make you laugh, swoon, fall in love, and escape into a world of romance and small towns (no passport required—though it’s never a bad idea to keep yours ready!).
