Antipodean author Leanne Wood celebrated her first book, The Power of Things Unseen: Tales of Choosing Crazy Over Normal, with a socially gridlocked bash at the Float Luxury Spa, just a tiara’s toss from the Lobero Theatre.

Leanne, an editor for the Journal’s glossy magazine, spent six months writing the riveting true story about a woman whose inner voice leads on her on an enthralling and nerve-wracking journey, pursuing what is written in her heart, going from an aid worker in post-Communist Romania to a business entrepreneur in the U.S. with few resources.

The New Zealander, who has also lived in Canada, Switzerland, and Ireland, is now pondering her next project.
