Welcome to RayLee Heart!

THE STORY BEHIND THE NAME - RAYLEE HEART

My name is Mindy Lee George and I am a children's author out of Nova Scotia, Canada. I wanted a unique name for my website - one that meant something to ME. After much thought (and a little help from my fellow writing friend, Lynn), I have settled with RayLee Heart and here's why.

My brother, Raymond, meant the world to me. He was my big brother, my protector. Unfortunately I didn't have long with him as he passed away from injuries from an auto accident at the age of 18; when I was just 8 years old. Therefore, to honour him and to continue to keep his memory alive I've used some of his name with a little of my own name to create the first word - RayLee.

For as long as I can remember, through the good, the bad, the happy and sad...and well, even the ugly I supposed, I've been known to wear my heart on my sleeve. Many people, to this day, still tell me I have a huge heart, hence the word HEART! Thus - RayLee Heart was established. So - in saying that - I'd like to take this opportunity to welcome you to my site where you can browse my children's books, some of my graphic design work along with the stained glass pieces I have created.

Thank you for stopping by!

WHAT'S NEW!!!

COMING NOVEMBER 2025

MY NAME IS CLAIRE

A story written by yours truly based on a student who went to elementary school with my youngest son. My Name is Claire is what Claire wants everyone to know about people like her. Born with Down Syndrome, she wants others to know she really isn’t that different when it comes to how she feels inside and what she is capible of.

WHAT I'M WORKING ON...

This month in the writers group I attend, the challenge is to write a story from my youth. I chose a memory from when I was 5-6 about a day I set out to find ladybugs. The story not only has to be based on an actually memory, it also has to be 635 words...EXACTLY! Mission accomplished! Hence my new story coming in Spring of 2026. It is called, 'The Day Mr. Sunny Chose Me'. Words are written, breakdown is complete, illustrator is almost confirmed. So...keep an eye out for this fun, bubbly story about this little girls adventure in her own backyard with Mr. Sunny and her new ladybug friends! Coming Spring of 2026.
