Leslie holds a B.A. in English with a concentration in Creative Fiction Writing from Montclair State University. Like Bridget, Leslie was born and raised in New Jersey and inherited her love of reading from her mother. Janice holds a B.S. in Education from Seton Hall University. Her passion for books was passed on to the next generation of her family. Both Leslie and Janice currently live in New Jersey with their cat, in a busy little town, and they couldn't think of a more perfect setting for their heroine. Brighde Reborn is their first young adult novel.
