About the Author

Author, Reader, Optimist and Small-Town Aficionado

Leanne Stanfield writes sweet, small-town romances featuring strong and endearing women who often stumble but always reach their happily-ever-afters. Her published works include Jaycee’s Bakery (2024), the first book in the Larkin Bay Romance series.

When Leanne isn’t writing, she spends her free time couch-coaching the Toronto Blue Jays, baking cookies that don’t contain raisins, and texting her three adult children.

Leanne lives in a small town but also loves to escape to her forested hideaway in northern Ontario, where she keeps busy filling her hummingbird feeders and reading in the company of her needy dog, indifferent cat, and loving husband.
