Hi! I’m Lee-ann,
An author, scriptwriter and mental health blogger, advocating in my own way through my passion of raw and real writing & poetry
I was born in South Africa, and I spent most of my life running and fighting demons from childhood sexual abuse.
​
I left South Africa when I was in my early 20's and lived in London and Australia...
​
I traded the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney for the beautiful sacred land and white beaches of Byron Bay when my energy levels were draining faster than I could think. I had to be tested for cancer and autoimmune disease. I gave up on western medicine and made the conscious decision to heal myself in Nature, where I completed and published my first two novels When Angels Cry - The Forgotten Children and Dancing with the Devil - Breaking chains of childhood sexual abuse, as well as a short screenplay (specifically on Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), that is currently with a South African film producer for consideration for Theatre production.
​
I have an amazing Entertainment Manager in Florida who has opened doors for me, where I am now in collaboration with a NY film producer, and I am near completion of my next two feature screenplays. I am also co-author of Songs of Peace: The world's biggest anthology of contemporary poetry 2020.
​
I am totally a water baby finding my balance in the ocean. I see every life challenge as an opportunity for growth, and being Scorpio I am not afraid of the dark, transformation, and rebirth, and I am not afraid to think outside of the box.
​
I WAS NEVER BORN TO FIT IN
AND
THAT'S THE WAY I LIKE IT
