She lives for those few silent, early a.m. hours where she can be hidden away in her office pursuing her true passion—writing. Leah Speer lives in Sandestin, Florida with her husband, two rambunctiously adorable sons and faithful dog. When she isn’t writing, she enjoys movies, playing golf, cooking, going out to eat with her girlfriends, and though you can often find her enjoying an ice cold Sam Adams, a nice glass of Chianti is her true delight.
