Leigh Strokes

Leigh Strokes began reading and writing around the age of 8. Her imagination ran wild at times and stories of fantastical beings and incredible circumstances often appeared in her head and down to the page before her.

When she was 12 she read, A.N. Roquelaure's (Anne Rice) Claiming of Sleeping Beauty. This series, for those unfamiliar, is not the type of work you'd probably want your impressionable preteen to read. However, as a voracious reader, Leigh had already read all the books in the family library, Stephen King, Anne Rice (Vampires), and plenty of religious texts. Her mother would bring her and her siblings to the library twice per month and Leigh would select the maximum number of books allowed for checkout, 6.

After reading the Sleeping Beauty series, Leigh began a journey into sexuality that made her the woman she is today. Abused by family members, and classmates, she struggled to find her place in the world and what sex should mean.

Leigh is an advocate for building women's strength and control in all relationships, but especially sexual ones. When women are in control of the sex life, when they know and get what they seek and desire, everyone wins!

May you find your strength, and courage, and embrace your sexuality!
