Leigh Neely and Jan Hamilton Powell are the writing team of Neely Powell. They met working at a rock ‘n roll radio station, discovered they’d both rather be writing fiction, and have been close friends ever since.

Their path to cowriting paranormal romance took some detours. Leigh’s resume chronicles a diverse career as a disk jockey, newspaper reporter, advertising copywriter, magazine writer and editor. Jan wrote 24 romance novels as Celeste Hamilton for Silhouette and Avon Books and then built a career in corporate communications and public relations.

Neely Powell became a successful team when they turned their attention to shifters, weres, witches, ghosts, fae, and all things supernatural. Their first novel was TRUE NATURE from The Wild

Doors were locked him out the inside, something was periodically dragged across the second story floor while he was downstairs, he heard voices, and he saw apparitions. The house was built on land that had been in the family for generations. Before he built it, he often saw the figure of a Native American male in the shadows in the woods. The area was a reported stop on The Trail of Tears. Powell’s brother thought his haunting was related. Powell always felt a vague unease in his home, but wasn’t sure about all of this until she spent a night with him. There were constant lights flashing outside, unexplained noises that awakened her. She is certain the haunting played a role in the decline of his mental and physical health. When he was very ill, she smudged the house, read from the Bible, and begged the spirits to leave him and the house alone. After he returned home, he said the noises and apparitions did not disturb him. He loved the setting of his home - at the base of a ridge in East Tennessee, and he enjoyed some peace before his passing in 2018. The house belongs to others now, and Powell hopes that if the house is haunted, it’s the carefree, funny and kind brother she once knew. (less)

A Split Personality

We’re asked all the time about how we write together. The answer is with a lot of planning, respect and hard work. Also, on any given day, we may have only one brain between us. LOL.

We’re long-time friends, first brought together by our love of books and desire to write fiction. Our collaborative efforts were initially laid to rest when our first two books never found a publishing home. Then Leigh
