Leigh Fallon was born in South Africa, raised in Dublin, Ireland and moved to Cork in my 20’s. While living in beautiful Kinsale, Co Cork she discovered a love of writing. She writes mainly for the young adult market. Her current book, The Carrier of the Mark, prompted her to abandon my ‘riveting’ career in corporate treasury and she has been writing ever since. Her family and she now share our time between Ireland and the US.
