Gaynor Madoc Leonard was born and brought up in Carmarthenshire, South Wales, in a Welsh-speaking family. Her first novel, The Carmarthen Underground (inspired by a phrase in William Fox's The Pan-Celtic Phrasebook) was published by Y Lolfa in December 2009 and has since been made available on Kindle. Since then, she has written two sequels, A Meeting of Dragons and Darkness at Dark Gate. These are both published on lulu.com (paperback) and smashwords.com (e-book). The final book in the series, The Red Kite's Song, is also available in both formats. In addition, there is a book of short stories available on smashwords.com, including the prize-winning The Last Cottage.
