ABOUT ME:

Hi! I’m Jennifer Lamont Leo.

My goal in writing historical fiction is to capture readers’ hearts through stories set in times gone by. My first novel, You’re the Cream in My Coffee, won an ACFW Carol Award for debut novel, and the sequel, Ain’t Misbehavin’, is a finalist for a Selah Award. My latest book, Songbird and Other Stories, is a collection of short stories penned in the same Roaring Twenties series as the novels. In addition to writing fiction, I’m a freelance writer, copywriter, and editor. Although I’m a native of the Chicago area, I now live on a remote mountain in beautiful northern Idaho with my husband, two cats, and abundant wildlife.

Introducing SONGBIRD and Other Stories

A speakeasy singer longs for a better life than the one she’s always known.

A department-store clerk finds that the robe of her dreams may cost more than she bargained for.

A young girl wrestles with the pangs of growing up as she reunites with an old friend.

In Songbird and Other Stories, you’ll find a delightful array of charming stories set in simpler times. From the grand department stores and smoky speakeasies of Prohibition-era Chicago to the pristine shores of Lake Coeur d’Alene, these winsome characters will capture your heart and sweep you back to the Jazz Age.

Look for it on Amazon or your favorite online retailer.

What the well-dressed jazz singer is wearing in 1928!

Dot Rodgers (yes, she does bear a striking resemblance to actress Louise Brooks)

Meet Dot Rodgers, the heroine of Songbird. Let’s take a sneak peek into Dot’s closet. She won’t mind!

One bathing suit–only semi-scandalous–for sunbathing on Oak Street Beach. Purchased from Marshall Field’s with her employee discount.
An adorable hat. Or six. Because what good is it to work a day job in Marshall Field’s Millinery department if you can’t take advantage of it?
Several string of pearls, long enough to tie in a knot and swing while dancing the Charleston. Louie is so generous with his gifts. Or is he just trying to keep her quiet about the goings-on at the speakeasy he owns?
A darling ensemble for spending the Fourth of July with gal-pal Marjorie.
A photograph of dreamy Charlie Corrigan. (Gee, how did that get in the closet? Oh, yeah, so Louie wouldn’t see it).
One wedding dress, as yet unworn. Because a girl can dream!

My lucky number is 32!

Add up all the lucky numbers in the Scavenger Hunt and you’ll have the secret code to enter for the grand prize!
