Leesa Ronald is the author of Special Delivery, a rom-com debut published by Allen & Unwin. ​She grew up on a farm in Central West NSW and used schoolwork as an excuse to avoid sheepwork. Luckily, her parents indulged her 'commitment' to her studies, which sparked her lifelong love of words and an enduring fear of hard labour. After studying Media & Communications at the University of Sydney, Leesa worked in magazines before pivoting to corporate communications. She now works and lives in Orange, NSW, with her family.
