ARIA Expo Blog Tour, Leah DeCesare

Mike:  Hi, Leah.  I’m happy to have yet another Association of Rhode Island Author (ARIA) to introduce to my Overlords fan base.  As with the others, we’re going to do an old fashioned interview.  Here we go!

Mike:  Leah, please introduce yourself to my Overlords fans with a little information about you and where you’re from.



Leah:  My main job is mom to my three kiddos, two teenagers and a ten year old. I’ve wanted to be a writer since I was six and after years of working with families as an educator and doula, I’ve been blogging, but am excited to have written my first book, Naked Parenting: 7 Keys to Raising Kids With Confidence.

Mike:  What are you working on these days and what’s the current status of that project?

Leah:  I’m preparing the manuscript of my debut novel to be sent to agents, writing a novel is an amazingly inspiring challenge. I’m also starting a second Naked Parenting book, I envision that becoming a series using the 7 principles and addressing a variety of parenting topics.

Mike:  Can you tell the audience what inspires you to write?

Leah:  I honestly don’t know, it’s something that’s been a part of me as long as I can remember and after life’s taken me on different paths, I’ve reprioritized and found my way back to writing over the last few years.

Mike:  What genre do you enjoy writing the most?

Leah:  Women’s fiction, I love discovering along with my characters and getting so immersed in my writing that I can’t wait to get back to my computer to see what’s going to happen next. I’ve also loved writing Naked Parenting and sharing my experience.

Mike:  Any upcoming projects we should now about?

Leah:  Naked Parenting: Social Media and Technology and Naked Parenting: Money and Finance are next up for the Naked Parenting series.

Mike:  OK, time for some quick ones, ready?  Favorite movie?

Leah:  So old, but I have to say When Harry Met Sally.

Mike: Favorite food or dish to make?

Leah:  Eggplant parmesan

Mike:  Favorite place you have ever visited?

Leah:  Vietnam

Mike:  Favorite music band?

Leah:  Zac Brown Band

Mike:  Favorite book, and no it can’t be one of yours!

Leah:  There are way too many to select a favorite, but I’m going with To Kill a Mockingbird.

Mike:  Leah, thanks for being such a good sport!  Is there anything you would like to leave my fans with?

Leah:  Thanks for having me be a part of a fun post! Check out the post that drew hundreds of hilarious comments on Facebook: Why You Should Fart in Front of Your Husband.
