Leisa Ebere, originally born in San Francisco, California now resides in Gravesend in the UK. She is married with three children and one grandchild. Leisa has been writing poems and stories since the age of twelve and was inspired to write Crows and Angels, her debut novel, by the stories her grandmother told her, of her ancestors settling in the Dakota Territory. Leisa grew up on a horse ranch in the Northwestern United States and is 1/16 Sioux Indian by birth; and has a special place in her heart for Native Americans. Her aim is to tell their side of the story through her writing.
