Aliyat Lecky grew up in Oakland, CA, the sixth of seven siblings raised by a single mother.  She recieved a Bachelor of Arts in Ethnic Studies from Sonoma State Univeristy, in CA.  Additionally, she earned a MA in Curriculum and Instruction and an EdS in Educational Leadership from the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota, where she is currently enrolled in a doctoral program (where she discovered the value and power of my personal narrative, and she is taking a break to pursue writing narratives).

Currently she resides in Florida wher she enjoys spending time with family and friends and continutes to work on other writing projects.  She is a former English teacher who has enjoyed eighteen years working in eduction.  While she has found that she truly enjoys this fulfilling work, her passion has always been, and will continue to be, creating fiction.  Finding meaning in, and examining women issues through narrative is a satisfying endeavor, and composing prose that reflects stimulating ideas is something that resonates with her entirely.

Aliyat has an intersting perpective on life, especially concerning women's topics and have many provocative ideas to share.  She writes in the tradition of Women's fiction, with a contemporary appeal.
