Leearna Shaw - Rural Romance Author

Leearna Shaw is a contemporary rural romance author inspired by the chaos of living on a small farm in north-east Victoria with her husband and two boys. She has a Diploma in Professional Writing & Editing and a Certificate in Professional Proofreading.

​

Away from her writing desk, Leearna is as competitive with her reading habits as she is on the basketball court. When she’s not tending to her unhealthy obsession with indoor plants, Leearna can be found either on the yoga mat or chasing runaway lambs and her wayward boys on their property. 

​

Leearna's first two rural romance novels will be published by Allen & Unwin in 2026 and 2027.
