Leenie Brown has always been a girl with an active imagination, which, while growing up, was a both an asset, providing many hours of fun as she played out stories, and a liability, when her older sister and aunt would tell her frightening tales. At one time, they had her convinced Dracula lived in the trunk at the end of the bed she slept in when visiting her grandparents!
Although it has been years since she cowered in her bed in her grandparents’ basement, she still has an imagination which occasionally runs away with her, and she feeds it now as she did then ─ by reading!
Her heroes, when growing up, were authors, and the worlds they painted with words were (and still are) her favourite playgrounds! She was that child, under the covers with the flashlight, reading until the wee hours of the morning…and pretending not to be tired the next day so her mother wouldn’t find out.
In addition to feeding her imagination, she also exercises it ─ by writing. While writing has been an activity she has dabbled in over the years, it blossomed into a full-fledged obsession when she stumbled upon the world of Jane Austen Fan Fiction. Leenie had first fallen in love with Jane Austen's work in her early teens when she was captivated by the tale of a girl, who like her, was the second born of five daughters. Now, as an adult, she spends much time in the regency world, playing with the characters from her favourite Jane Austen novels and a few that are of her own creation.
When she is not traipsing down a trail in an attempt to keep up with her imagination, Leenie resides in the beautiful province of Nova Scotia with her two sons and her very own Mr. Brown (a wonderful mix of all the best of Darcy, Bingley and Edmund with a healthy dose of the teasing Mr. Tilney and just a dash of the scolding Mr. Knightley).

He has found his perfect match. If only he felt free to marry...
Colonel Richard Fitzwilliam has seen the devastating effects of war both in the land where battles are fought and at home where wives are left widows and children are left fatherless. This knowledge is the foundation upon which his charitable Christmas tradition is based. It is also why he intends never to marry. For three years he has been able to carry out his mission to help those in need while never once wishing to give up his bachelorhood.
However, this Christmas, when he travels to Hertfordshire, his covert tradition will be harder to carry out in an unfamiliar place, and when he asks for help, the assistance he is given by a pretty, scheming lady will be enough to make him curse his profession and long to be free to marry.
Midnight with Mary is the second novelette in Leenie Brown's Sweet Extras Collection and is a sequel to Christmas in Gracechurch Street. If you like short and sweet reads that slip easily into the cracks of life, then you will enjoy this Christmas romance about two new friends discovering their love for each other and finding that, despite their shared aversion to marrying one another, some unions are simply destined to be.
So put the kettle on, download your copy of Midnight with Mary, and steal away for a few moments of sweet indulgence.
