Cows, Lesley learned growing up on a farm, have a twisted sense of humor. They chased her when she went to the field to herd them in for milking, and one ate the lovely red mitten her grandmother knitted for her. Determining that agriculture wasn't a good career choice, instead she uses her country roots and her training as a psychologist to concoct stories designed to make people laugh in the face of murder. "A good chuckle," says Lesley," keeps us emotionally well-oiled long into our old age." She is the author of the Eve Appel mysteries from Camel Press as well as several cozy mystery series and numerous short stories.
