About the author

Leah Peterson either doesn’t know, or refuses to choose, what she wants to be when she grows up.

A mother of four, she now lives in southern California where she writes, paints, illustrates and shoots photographs, takes clog dancing lessons, plays the piano and clarinet, makes benches out of knotty pine, weaves, sews, covers cherries with chocolate, embarrasses her 12-year old daughter by singing really loud, consults on mortgages and actively listens for the stories being told all around her.

In her column, Stories Overheard, Leah will share revelations and resonations gained through her highly developed skills of eavesdropping on strangers.

These pages were originally published on Writer’s Monthly.us and were part of a column.
