Reclamation through Fiction with Leisha Douglas

The Sparkle Bookstore

Leisha will read from her historical fiction novel about her grandmother’s life on stage--a life of stardom never discussed before.

Upon her mother’s death, Leisha Douglas inherited a box of scrapbooks bursting with yellowed press releases, newspaper articles, and fan letters about her grandmother’s life on stage--a life of stardom never discussed by Leisha’s family. This treasure trove, combined with extensive research, forms the basis of Leisha’s historical fiction novel, <a href="https://bookshop.org/a/112416/9798897409563" title="https://bookshop.org/a/112416/9798897409563" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Triple Threat: The Story of a 1920s Broadway Star</a>, which she will discuss and read from in this one-hour event. Leisha Douglas recently retired to pursue her first love, creative writing. Her stories and poems have appeared in many literary journals, including The Cortland Review, The Minetta Review, The Midwest Quarterly, Upstreet, The RavensPerch, and The Big Other. Her poetry has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize and anthologized. Her poetry chapbook, Hand Fishing, was recently published by Moonstone Press. Sibylline Press published her 2026 historical novel, Triple Threat; The Story of 1920s Broadway Star. A full-length poetry collection was also selected as a finalist for The Two Sylvias Press’s 2026 Wilder Prize
