Lea Scott
Genres
From the time Lea Scott picked up her first crayon, writing has been a lifelong passion. Her mother’s cupboards are filled with self-illustrated books and stories penned from an early age. Other random life skills she has gained along the way include the ability to bait her own fishhook and shoot with a deadly aim…
With a degree majoring in Commerce, with studies in Communications and English Literature, Lea could be coined a true ‘creative accountant’. She founded her lengthy accounting career in Insolvency – an area steeped in corporate crime. During this time, she faced adversaries both in court and at the end of a gun barrel. This experience first whetted Lea’s appetite for crime stories.
The supernatural element in Lea’s first novel is inspired by an interest in paranormal forces, which stems from her own experiences of perception and clairvoyance. With an interest in psychology and the delicate balance of the mind, Lea intends to continue to deliver crime thrillers that explore the many facets of the human psyche.
Lea resides by the Brisbane River in Australia and while not writing, she divides her time between family and friends and sharing her knowledge of writing through public speaking engagements and mentoring programs. While she still wets a line from time to time, the only birds Lea likes to shoot these days are the clay-pigeon type.
