Happy holidays to my family, friends and followers this Yuletide season. I will be taking a digital detox over the next few days, so just to say thanks for being with me on my author journey, for buying and borrowing my books, and keeping my writing spirits high.
Hope that Santa is good to you over the festive season. Since it’s only the fourth day of Yule, may the merriment continue for you as it does for me!
Leilanie Stewart is an award-winning author and poet from Belfast, Northern Ireland. She writes ghost and psychological horror, as well as experimental poetry. Her writing confronts the nature of self; her novels feature main characters on a dark psychological journey who have a crisis and create a new sense of identity. She began writing for publication while working as an English teacher in Japan, a career pathway that has influenced themes in her writing. Her former career as an Archaeologist has also inspired her writing and she has incorporated elements of archaeology and mythology into both her fiction and poetry.
In addition to promoting her own work, Leilanie runs Bindweed Anthologies, a creative writing publication with her writer husband, Joseph Robert. Aside from publishing pursuits, Leilanie enjoys spending time with her husband and their lively literary lad, a voracious reader of sea monster books.
