Leah Braemel is the only woman in a houseful of males that includes her college-sweetheart husband, a Shih Tzu named Seamus who behaves like a cat and Turtle the cat who thinks he's a dog. She loves escaping the ever-multiplying dust bunnies by opening up her laptop to write about sexy heroes and the women who challenge them. She also is published by Canadian publisher Quarry Press, and formerly by Harlequin's Carina Press and Samhain Publishing, though now she self-publishes her work.
