Jessica Leed is a 30 year-old school teacher, former fitness professional and dancer. She was born and raised in Bendigo, Victoria before moving to Melbourne in 2008. For as long as she can remember she has had a passion for storytelling—in all forms. From writing countless short stories as a child to later being inspired to complete a creative writing course, written by her favourite and best-selling author, Karen Kingsbury, Jessica was adamant to become a published author.
NINE YEARS is the first book in the two-part series BENEATH THE CLOUDS. (Bio courtesy of Jessica's website.)

You would think Sienna Henderson had the perfect life. She has a successful career, a loving family and is engaged to be married. From the outside she appears to have it all together, yet on the inside she is coming undone.
Caught inside a dysfunctional relationship and with her work environment intolerable, she finds herself slipping further from the life she has envisioned.
After reuniting with a man from her past, Sienna's life is turned upside down in a way that has her questioning everything she has ever known. (Courtesy of Amazon.)
In one sentence, describe your road to publishing.
A long, challenging, but rewarding process.
How are you and Sienna alike or different?
We have similar perspective on how we approach life and have a heart that is wide open to loving others. We are different in the way we process information where Sienna, perhaps, held on a little too tightly to things in her life that she needed to let go of.
If Nine Years were to become a movie, who would you cast in the leading roles?
It would be a dream for Sienna to be played by either Jennifer Lawrence or Amanda Seyfried, Ethan to be played by Channing Tatum or Ryan Gosling and Patrick to be played by Liam Hemsworth.
What is your favorite winter holiday song?
My favorite Christmas/ Summer song would have to be ‘It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year’. Even though we don’t have the snow- it truly is a beautiful time filled with family, friends, community and giving.
What is your favorite winter holiday beverage?
I don’t think I could ever go past a good Belgium Hot Chocolate with extra marshmallows!
Tell us about a winter holiday tradition you have with your family.
Since I am an Australian author, our Christmas break takes place over the Summer (December/ January). It is celebrated very differently here-with a BBQ Christmas lunch and shorts and t-shirts! Unfortunately, no eggnog for us!
Thanks to Jessica for visiting with us and for sharing her book with our readers.
