Roberta Leigh, die ook publiceerde onder de namen Rachel Lindsay, Rozella Lake en Janey Scott, was een van de eerste romantische romanschrijfsters die sterke, carrièregerichte heldinnen introduceerde die zich niet door de held lieten domineren. Naast haar literaire werk had Leigh een filmbedrijf, waarvoor ze zeven kinder-tv-series schreef en produceerde. De muziek voor haar series droeg ze vaak zelf aan door melodieën te neuriën of te zingen, die vervolgens professioneel werden gearrangeerd. Haar artistieke talent uitte zich ook in schilderen, met abstracte werken die in Londense galeries werden tentoongesteld, wat getuigt van een veelzijdige creatieve geest.
