Fleeta is the award-winning author of 16 Women's Fiction books set in the mid-century period (aka Retro Romance), including the Santa Rita Series about life in a small Texas town in the 1950's and the Discerning Hearts Series about the journies of three college girls coming of age in post-Vietnam. She's always enjoyed telling stories from this time period, made popular by the music revival of Rockabilly.

 A fifth generation Texan, Fleeta Cunningham has lived her entire life in Texas, both small towns and big cities. Drawing on all of them, she writes about the unique character--and characters--of the southern states. After a career as a law librarian for a major Texas law firm, writing a monthly column for a professional newsletter and other legal publications, she returned to her home in Central Texas to write full time. Fleeta has been writing in one form or another since the age of eight. When she isn't writing, she teaches creative writing classes and goes dancing with her beau every Tuesday night! She loves to hear from readers.
