ⓘ About Leighann Dobbs
Leighann Dobbs is the pen name of Lee Anne Dobbins who writes fiction using her pen name (the former) and a lot of food and health related books using her real name (the latter). Leighann says that she always wanted to be a fiction writer since age 8 when she started reading voraciously. She says that she tried her hand at writing during her twenties but couldn’t publish a book since she was rejected by all the publishing houses that she had sent her work to. She then gave up and took up a career in software engineering and had a good run at it until 2007 when she got laid off. This is when she had a lot of free time and she tried her hand at a lot of things like web designing and content writing for local clients.
