Leanne Minton

LEANNE MINTON grew up in rural New Zealand and developed a love for writing and the outdoors. When her first marriage ended, she moved to the UK. Through a series of God-incidents, four years later she made a trip to Canada, the one country she’d decided never to visit. There she met Phil and eighteen months later they married. While living in Jasper Leanne had the opportunity to accompany her park warden husband on his horseback patrols into the backcountry. From these trips came her travelogue, Blue Creek Bride. When Phil retired, they moved to New Zealand and in 2025 Leanne self-published her second book, a memoir called London Longings. Leanne enjoys reading, history, gardening, and going to the movies.
