Thanks for stopping by!
I am an Australian fiction author, Amazon #1 bestselling non-fiction author, emerging literary and trauma theorist, professional writing coach, presenter, researcher, trauma thriver, neurodivergent hyperlexic, and identical triplet.

My fiction transports readers into worlds of post-trauma recovery, cozy mystery, heart-pumping suspense, dark crime, the supernatural, fairytale retellings, and dizzying time travel – all wrapped around a sweet (and sometimes sexy) romance.

My non-fiction writing guides writers on their unique writing journeys.

My innovative literary theory (including identifying and defining the post-trauma romance subgenre) and trauma theories (including the 9F Trauma Response Model, the Fade trauma response, the 3 Step Positive Recovery Process, and the Vital Signs Scan) led to my PhD thesis receiving the prestigious 'top 10% of outstanding theses in the field' award in 2024.

I write under two fiction pseudonyms (because, why not?) - A.K. Leigh and Leigh Hatchmann, and one non-fiction name: (Dr) Alicia Leigh.
