Leigh Jones

Leigh Jones started her writing career in elementary school with a story about an enterprising hamster making a bid to take over the world. But after college, she set all dreams of fiction writing aside to chase the daily adrenaline rush of seeing her byline in print. She covered school board meetings, city council intrigue, and the occasional heart-warming feature for several daily newspapers in Texas. She even covered a few murders and one very big hurricane.

She never considered returning to fiction until she became an editor and no longer got to see her byline on the front page. Facing serious adrenaline withdrawals, she began plotting her first novel. Eight years later, it finally hit the virtual store shelves as Look The Other Way, book one in the Galveston Crime Scene series.

When she’s not writing fiction, Leigh works as the features editor at WORLD News Group, a national Christian media outlet that practices biblically objective journalism. There she shepherds long-form story projects for a biweekly magazine and daily podcast.

She lives with her husband and daughter in a suburb of Houston.
