Ruger’s Corner
Hi Friends, it’s Ruger
This week I got a brand-new chew toy, and let me tell you- it’s already missing an ear. Don’t worry, I’m keeping Mom company at night and weekends while she writes, even if I sneak in a nap or two on guard duty. 🐾

Meet Lesa Renae
Lesa Renae is the author of The Vanishing Series, romantic suspense novels set in the Blue Ridge Mountains—where small-town charm collides with danger, buried secrets, and unexpected love.
Drawing inspiration from the rugged beauty and close-knit mountain communities of the Southeast, her stories weave together gripping crime investigations, emotionally driven characters, and slow-burn romance. Each book invites readers into a world where courage is tested, justice is never simple, and love refuses to let go.
Lesa lives in Calhoun, Georgia, with her husband, Bobby, and their loyal German Shepherd, Ruger. By day, she has spent more than twenty years as Vice President of Sales for Mathews & Parlo Carpet—traveling across multiple states and leading a high-performing sales team. By night, she returns to the Blue Ridge Mountains on the page, pursuing her lifelong passion for storytelling.
Her debut novel, Walking Away, launched The Vanishing Series and introduced readers to the mountain town of Sylva, North Carolina—where the quiet beauty of the mountains hides secrets that never truly stay buried.
