Hi! I’m Lesley, and I love to read and write Contemporary Young Adult novels. Most of my stories center around trauma, grief, and other realistic experiences teens face. After spending many years being a private voice instructor to high school students, I became interested in their struggles. I’ve heard many stories and confessions through the years, things that weighed heavily on my student’s hearts. 

I decided to combine my story-making brain, my love for YA books, and my own experiences with my students into one. And I’m loving every minute of it!

After moving to Georgia with my husband and young son, my voice studio has lessened, and my writing increased. You can find me upstairs in my office, typing away, with the faint sounds of Minecraft wafting in from my son’s room. My office floor is usually littered with foot-crushing Lego’s, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. Writing is my joy and passion. My goal is to move my readers and make them feel something, and I hope you all experience this when you read my books.
