A BRIEF INTRODUCTION WITH ADRIANE LEIGH
Please give a brief introduction to yourself.
I grew up in rural northern Michigan and wrote my first book when I was eight — I’ve wanted to be an author since that moment! I drink coffee, read books and eavesdrop on conversations in my local coffeeshop obsessively to get inspiration for my books — it’s always the quiet ones you have to watch out for! I’ve always been fascinated with people and storytelling so being a writer felt like a natural choice for me, but if I wasn’t a writer, I would probably be an anthropologist studying history and culture and gathering stories from around the world.
What are you currently reading?
I just picked up Strange Sally Diamond and We Used to Live Here from my local bookshop, I haven’t decided which to start first!
Describe your novel in three words
Love, lies and sinister childhood secrets.
What’s the most interesting thing you had to research for this novel?
Learning about the many capabilities of smarthouses was fascinating and a little unnerving at the same time!
What kind of thrillers do you love?
Psychological thrillers with strong but morally gray leading women are my favorite to read and write! I also love a haunted house story!
