La gatera de Beguemot

From the Author
Dear Friends,

My name is Leah Kelley. Though I am the author of several stories, novellas, and novels, I am first and foremost a stay-at-home wife and mother. As far as my writing goes, romance is my passion. I grew up in the late 70’s and early 80’s with Kathleen Woodiweiss, Johanna Lindsey, Amanda Scott, all those authors who used to write the best books with alpha-male heroes. Unfortunately the romance genre has decided to “reform” itself to look better in the public eyes (more politically correct), so you no longer find those good old-fashioned romance stories. As a matter of fact, I rarely find a book on the shelf I want to read anymore. It’s so disappointing.

So I write, as I have done since I was thirteen years old. I love to create stories with strong heroes teaching and leading their feminine heroines as set up in the Bible. Men were never meant to be the wimps the world and the church have taught them to be. They were meant to lead their families, not be a joke to them. They were given authority over all in their families and with that comes the right to back up that authority. Nowhere in the Bible is authority given without the means to back it up. The Bible even says the person in authority has to give account for the ones under his authority. Do you think it would be fair to expect a husband to answer for his wife if he has no control over her actions? I don’t. That’s why I believe he has the right to spank his wife if need be.

In my stories I try to strike a balance between love and discipline. The hero has that “edge” but it is tempered with the knowledge that he loves the heroine and wants only what is best for her. To date I have completed three novels, two novellas, and a host of short stories with many more works in progress. I hope you will enjoy them.

Blessings,

Leah

Nada como la firme mano del Altísimo. Recordemos que Leah es el nombre de la esposa que le dieron a un Jacob estafado, quien solamente le hizo que pariera cuatro hijos porque cuando eres futuro patriarca y estás en mitad del Génesis tienes que hacer esas cosas, pero que en realidad siempre reservó su amor para Rebeca. Plato de segunda mesa, la pobre, una de las figuras más trágicas de ese libro tan rematadamente oscuro, retorcido y desolador. De todas maneras, esta corta glosa sobre su nombre en pleno ataque ad hominem no sé muy bien qué tiene que ver con la escritura sadomaso cristiano-fundamentalista, simplemente Alberto me ha enviado noticia de esta colección de cuentos con uno de los mejores títulos que recuerdo, y aunque en Amazon te recomiendan que adquieras también otro con una portada visualmente mucho más sugerente, ni de lejos se puede comparar, ande va a pará.
