Stacia Leigh grew up in Montana's Flathead Valley and knows a thing or two about driving a stick and chasing chickens. She currently resides in the PNW with a couple rescue mutts, two artists, and one very special computer nerd.

She's won first, second and third place in PNWA's annual literary contest for the short story, children's chapter, and young adult categories. Her debut novel, Dealing with Blue, was a finalist for the 2016 Nancy Pearl Book Award.

She enjoys writing what she loves to read, a flirty romance that's light on the angst and heavy on the fun.

If I stall out while writing, I try a couple different things:
1.) Change the scene into another character's perspective. What are their motives? Where do they take the story?
2.) Write some backstory on the side to help me understand history and motivations.
3.) Sleep with the story questions on my mind and, fingers crossed, wake up with some clarity.
4.) Read about writing.
5.) Write right through it.(less)

Add a sequence...this goes here, that goes there. Change things around to find the right fit. It's like a puzzle. Click the pieces together and a story happens. Set aside the border pieces, find the pattern, and discover another world. Keep building! It's very satisfying to see it all come together.(less)

“By the way, isn't zest a wonderful word? In our careful world, 'feeling just OK' seems to be the new normal. I want zest, dammit. Zest, joy, and ferocious awareness.”
Elizabeth Sims, You've Got a Book in You: A Stress-Free Guide to Writing the Book of Your Dreams

“My bad!" She giggled. "Sugar makes me chatty.”
Rachel Renée Russell, Tales from a Not-So-Glam TV Star

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
Frank Herbert, Dune

“Inej cast a meaningful glance at his cane. "Have a long trip down," she said, then leapt onto the banister, sliding from one flight to the next, slick as butter in a pan.”
Leigh Bardugo, Six of Crows

“I'm a business man," he'd told her. "No more, no less."
"You're a thief, Kaz."
"Isn't that what I just said?”
Leigh Bardugo, Six of Crows
