I write diverse, body positive romance because ALL women deserve a sexy love story.

As a recovering yo-yo dieter who has struggled with body image, I channeled those experiences into my debut novel, Fat Girl, and its conclusion, A Naked Beauty. Sadly, I think most women, regardless of their weight or size, can identify with some aspect of body insecurity and self-doubt. I am inspired by the theme of loving yourself and discovering your own intrinsic worth. I want to bring my readers stories that are real, relatable, and entertaining—where strong characters with tough battles and troubled pasts tug at your heartstrings, turn you on, and have you cheering for a beautiful, forever love.

Quotes by Leigh Carron  (?)

“Over the years, I tried to end that friendship many times. In my heart, I knew the dependency was the reason I was miserable. But she had such a hold on me that letting her go seemed impossible.”
Leigh Carron, FAT GIRL

“I like him for the good, kind man he is: a sweet-talker who charms me with latte art and dorky notes, a vocal god who belts out a love ballad and collects comic books.”
Leigh Carron, An Imperfect Truth

“wore baggy clothes and kept a low profile to make myself as invisible as I could. And ate in secret to fill the emptiness and comfort the pain. As an adult, I’m still aware of the unfair bias that comes in the form of disapproving looks or the comment, Such a pretty face, as if the rest of me has failed.”
Leigh Carron, Fat Girl
