Lelia Eye has lived in Arkansas all her life. While she enjoys reading and watching movies, she refuses to subject herself to any books or movies with unhappy endings. She has a quirky sense of humor and an irrepressible tendency to play devil's advocate. Lelia has been interested in writing since she won a short story contest in the sixth grade. Her imagination has been active far longer than that, as her childhood was filled with stories built around such villains as dog-catchers with unflappable determination and pirate ponies with hearts of gold. Her interest in Jane Austen was sparked when she took a Jane Austen class in college. Her interests span far beyond Jane Austen, however, and encompass the realms of fairy tale, fantasy, and the supernatural. She lives with her husband of more than ten years and two precious daughters as well as some geriatric fur-babies.
