You're as likely to find Dallas-native Leah Shafer tasting her way through changes in Nordic cuisine as driving to Mexico and documenting illegal prescription drug import. She's a well-versed writer and podcaster who freelances for newspapers, magazines, and websites.

Leah's work has earned her several awards, and has appeared in O at Home, American Way, AAA Texas Magazine, Modern Bride, The Meeting Professional, and an unwieldy pile of other publications she stores in a box in her closet.
