Leah Rae Lambert

I was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA, but later moved with my son and daughter to Toronto, Canada where I continue to make my home. I began my writing career after early retirement from public service in Toronto.

My first book, The Unveiling, drew from my mother's experiences escaping the hardships of life in Eastern Europe and struggling as an immigrant to fit into a new society. The book's focus is on the destructive weight of family secrets and the liberation that comes from revealing the truth.

In my second book, Shred of Evidence, I have drawn inspiration from real experience, painstaking research, and documented testimony. The novel tells the story of a woman's determination to uncover the truth about her husband's shocking death in the face of secret government programs and cover-ups. It reveals details of the CIA's MKUltra program of mind control experiments that caused harm to unsuspecting citizens.

I earned my Master's degree from the University of Pittsburgh and a Ph.D from the University of Toronto. My career has included directing research in correctional services and strategic planning with the Toronto Police Services.

In the past I enjoyed cross-country skiing in snowy fields north of Toronto, but now escape the winter to relax in the sun, water and sand of Southern Florida.
