“For many years, I had a secret identity.  By day I was a school librarian, book talking and teaching library skills.  By night, I investigated murders, solved crimes and often fell in love, only to go back to school the next day.  It was really a secret love for romantic suspense, that rush of danger and true love that I could only find in suspense.”

Risa Leigh lives in Arlington, Texas, close enough to see her grandchildren often.  She was named for an opera singer (Risë Stevens) so it stands to reason that she sings in two choirs.  Risa has a part-time job at Barnes and Noble as a bookseller and storytime lady.  She loves to travel and every time she goes somewhere, she finds a new story to tell.

She is no longer working as a school librarian, but she writes children’s books under the name Risa Brown.

Risa currently indulges that secret fantasy by writing romantic suspense for Entangled Publishing.
