Leigh Fallon

Leigh Fallon was born in South Africa, raised in Dublin, Ireland and moved to Cork in her 20’s. While living in beautiful Kinsale, her novel, The Carrier of the Mark was conceived. She promptly abandoned her ‘riveting’ career in corporate treasury and discovered Inkpop, a website for budding writers of teen fiction.

Within weeks her manuscript hit the coveted top five spot and was reviewed by an editor at HarperCollins. A few emails and some hysterical screaming later, she signed her first deal. Leigh and her family now share their time between Ireland and the US.
