Hello! I’m Leslie. I’m a writer and reader, an instructor and a lifelong learning student. I love anything related to words, books, movies, and writing. I believe in authors and helping would be authors get started. I am a member of Mystery Writers of America, Sisters in Crime, Women’s Fiction Writing Assn, and Emerald City Romance Writers.

When not writing mystery and women’s fiction novels, I can be found volunteering for writer events, leading Write Night - a weekly facilitated writing critique group, teaching beginning writing in adult ed, correcting others’ grammar, talking and talking about writing. I love the beach and all things tropical.

Mostly, I believe in connections. In people meeting people. We can all help each other and make each other better. Good connections are win/win relationships. We help each other and we’re in it together.

Keep on reading!

Leslie
