HL Leavey: writer, linguist, adventurer and alchemist: jewellery designer, goldsmith and gemmologist (FGA, DGA).

Taking the path less travelled, she has lived and worked from Europe to the Amazonas. Fuelled by an insatiable curiosity for life, she explores its beauty and the paradox of wonders so often wrapped in danger: the fragile vulnerability not only of our human gifts, but of the natural world itself.

Returning to her passions for writing and jewellery, she now weaves the entrancing magic of gemstones into suspenseful tales of fate and transformation. She began with the true story Retribution Royale, and follows with her mystical suspense novels Rubies of Resilience, Mystique of the Muisca Emerald, and Diamond Deception. Through her writing, she hopes to support Dartmoor Preservation and help the Amazonian Yanomami people protect their sacred lands.

HL Leavey’s work is original, evocative and adventurous; passionately exploring human nature while immersing readers in faraway worlds, each laced with intrigue and danger. Her stories transport you to places you long to visit, gripping you with wonder until the final page.
