Our special guest author, Leah Dawkins, is the author of the Beauregard Family Series with "Peace Cries the Soul" being her latest release. Being an avid reader herself and harboring a passion to write a series of her own, she has decided that after 35 years, it was time to take a leap of faith and publish her first novel. With "Home Cries the Soul" being the first in her series of family ties, long buried secrets and scandals. She has found that the writing journey she had once thought to be fearful, is actually a fun and marvelous adventure.
