Hey, I’m Lee-Ann!

Earthling. Perthling. Writer of things. “Participation award”-winning author.

You can call me Lee or L.A. for short, but you don’t have to.

I’m a second generation Australian who loves playing with the English language and trying to make people laugh and cry in no particular order.

My psychological fiction/coming-of-age novel Black and Blue is available now!

I also share various sarcastic, self-deprecating musings on my blog.

Presented by Black Swan State Theatre Company,…
