Leigh G. Wynn writes sci-fi and romance with guaranteed happily-ever-afters. A classically trained violinist and accordionist, she often likes to weave a bit of music into her stories. She's also lucky enough to have the best day job in the world teaching curious young minds about the wonders of calculus. When she’s not writing or teaching, you’ll most likely find her cheering on motorsport races or being herded around the house by her three mischievous cats: Monica, Joey, and Chandler.

War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy
Artemis Fowl Series by Eoin Colfer

What do you listen to when you write?
Even though I love music and have spent most of my life making music, I prefer to write in silence! I find it much easier to focus when there's nothing to distract me in the background. However, my favorite songs/pieces include (but are not limited to) "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" by George Harrison, "Desperado" by the Eagles, all of Mozart's violin concertos, anything by Luke Combs and Blake Shelton, Neil Young's "Heart of Gold", Rachmaninoff's Symphony No. 2 and Piano Concerto No. 2, and tons more!
Any works in progress?
I'm in finishing up Buried in Bross (Book 2 of the Transferation Duology), A Date with the Conductor (Book 2 of the Hearts in Tune Series), and Married to the Manchu Prince, a historical romance set in the Forbidden Palace. I've been fascinated with Qing Dynasty my whole life, and my first ever attempt at novel writing was in the fifth grade when I decided to write a story in Chinese about the young emperor Kangxi. Though I never ended up finishing the draft, the research that went into it laid the groundwork the romance I'm writing today. It has been so much fun to revisit this fascinating period in history and finish a project that began a couple of decades ago (this time in English), and I can't wait to share the book with you soon.
