Meet the Team

Meet the Author, Lehman Riley

The timeframe was May, 1992. That’s when I began my journey of writing children’s books featuring my grandfather as the main character. It’s been a long road, with interesting twists and turns along the way! I’m committed to share my books with youth and grandparents too. I feel honored that I’m able to keep my grandparents legacy alive. I truly believe Papa Lemon and Mama Sarah would be proud!

My name is Lehman Riley and I currently reside in Minneapolis, Minnesota with my wife Tracy and my four children, DuVale, Nareece, Andrea, and Tianna.
