Who is Summer Leigh?

Hi! My name is Tima Chavis Cooke...aka Summer Leigh. I dwell in a small corner of the world called Cowpens, which is located on the Eastern side of Spartanburg County in South Carolina. I share my dreams, fears, and days with my husband Tim, and our three children. Recently, we moved into a home that has a lot of history (nearly *70* years worth!)

I have been writing poetry, and stories for as long as I can remember. Only recently, have I began writing under the pen name of Summer Leigh. The purpose of this site is to share my muse with the world. If you are a lover of poetry, and romance literature...you've come to the right place! Now, some of you may ask...Who is Summer Leigh? The reason that I named my pen (and my muse) Summer Leigh is because that name holds a very special, yet painful place in my heart. And, as a wise Aunt once told me...putting the bad things on paper gives them a life of their own, so that they can't haunt you anymore!





All my lousy life, I've crawled
about in the mud.
And you talk to me about scenery!
