Lesli, the writer...
In my youth, I read Terri Brooks, Patricia McKillip, and Anne McCaffery. Didn't realize there were genres other than fantasy.
I played basketball, skated competitively, and knew I was a writer. My sweet-smiled, bad-kneed grandma Harmon never doubted and put in an order for a Winnebago.
Young, poor, and married, I went into the floral industry for my mandatory day job. Five kids and twenty years later, I closed my flower shop to write full time. I had been handed a copy of Outlander, and that was that. I found Julie Garwood a month later at a used book store. And another month after that, wrote my first Scottish Historical Romance--long hand--in 16 days.
Seventy + romances and an army of writer-friends later, I'm headed back to my roots with paranormal fantasy, and I'm dragging a few of my most beloved characters with me because Hey! I'm the one holding the pen!
I'm happy if any of my books have brought you joy or tears, or made you laugh out loud. After all, I write for both of us.
