Her poetry has been widely published in literary magazines and ezines. Ten Minutes of Weather Away is her first poetry pamphlet. Leonie also writes fiction and creative non-fiction and her travel memoir Marram, the story of her journey up through the Outer Hebrides with Highlands ponies, was published by Sandstone Press in 2020, and has been described as "a love letter to the natural world and a clear appraisal of complicated relationships - gentle, raw and honest."
