about this author
LeAnn Neal Reilly graduated from Carnegie Mellon University with a master’s degree in professional writing. Along the way, she majored briefly in chemistry, served as opinion editor and then editor of her college newspaper, and interned for an international design firm. After graduate school, LeAnn worked first for a small multimedia startup and then a computer science research group. At the startup, she spent her time writing user manuals and scripts for multimedia software used to train railroad engineers. While writing among geeks, LeAnn became enamored and decided to take one home for herself.
After getting married and starting a family, she returned to her adolescent daydreams of writing novels. The Midwest Book Review described her first novel, The Mermaid's Pendant as a "beautifully crafted fantasy that shows much symbolism and wisdom." She lives outside Boston with her husband and three children.
