Leeke created BAP Living social networking site (http://baplivingforbapsandebw.ning.com) and BAP Living Radio in response to positive feedback from readers of her debut novel, Love's Troubadours - Karma: Book One. 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. 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. The book was published by iUniverse, Inc. and is available on Amazon.com, Barnesandnobles.com, Borders.com, Target.com, and Bookamillion.com.
