My Journey

This website was set up to highlight my journey. My name is  Dara Armstrong Lehner. I am a published writer, editor and photographer.  Through my publication path, I endured many highs and lows, pitfalls, and supportive mentors. Affording me opportunities to grow and learn. I worked as a freelance writer and photographer with newspapers and magazines, then branched off into writing books.  My career also expanded giving me opportunities as a licensed teacher, motivational speaker, and presenter at writing conferences. 

I'm actively authoring books (see my bio in the next section ) while maintaining editing and publishing demands with my company, Pen and Prearls. Publishing. 

My goal is to assist other authors with their individual needs through their self-publishing journey.
