Leeke created BAP Living social media projects in response to positive feedback from readers of her debut novel, Love's Troubadours - Karma: Book One (www.lovestroubadours.com). Love's Troubadours - Karma: Book One tells the story of Karma Francois, a thirtysomething California-born BoHo BAP (Bohemian Black American Princess) with Louisiana roots and urban debutante flair. Karma is a Jill of Many Trades: yoga teacher, art consultant, and freelance curator at Howard University Gallery of Art. The book shows how a woman uses therapy, yoga, meditation, art, music, poetry, and support from family and friends to confront the effects of her poor life choices and embrace a spiritual journey of healing and love. It was published by iUniverse, Inc. in August 2007 and is available on Amazon.com.
