edit data

J. Leigh Bralick is a fantasy author by day and an RN by night...or vice versa, depending on the day. She originally got her bachelor's in medieval history and MA in political philosophy, but decided on a career change when she realized she didn't want to teach, and no one was going to pay her exorbitant sums of money to use her learning to invent fantasy worlds. (She still holds out hope on that score, however.)

After growing up all around the country as a military brat, she now lives in Dallas, TX with a crazy menagerie of animals and more books than she legitimately has space for. When she isn't writing or working, she enjoys ballet and Krav Maga, hiking, and sharing gory ER stories with her friends.

J. Leigh Bralick's Blog: Wandering Lost Roads

Five Days!

That's right...five more days until Down a Lost Road: Extended Edition is released! I'm so excited to share this book with y'all...I've been wanting to give this series some TLC for a while now, and this felt like a great time to do it! I've found that I really enjoy writing from alternating POVs—that's my sweet spot, so I thought I'd go ahead and bring that style to DALR too.

Quotes by J. Leigh Bralick (?)

“When I was younger, I used to think that loving someone meant being weak. I thought it meant giving yourself up and losing your identity, and becoming just an other to someone else. I thought that only those who weren’t strong enough to stand on their own needed someone to lean on. I never realized that love is as much about giving strength as accepting it, and that love doesn’t mean that you can’t stand on your own, but only that now you can fly.”
