Lesley was born in Ireland, but moved to the UK to do a media degree many years ago. She now lives in Wiltshire with her husband.
Lesley is currently working on a YA novel but has previously written both children’s and adult fiction. Having completed a Granta nature writing course, Lesley is also exploring this wide genre of writing as a way to re-engage with the natural world and bring the natural world to the foreground in fiction writing.
She’s an avid reader of a wide range of fiction and non-fiction, having multiple books on the go at once. She also loves music, gigs, coffee, sustainable fashion, walks in nature and spending time with family in Ireland and the UK.
She was a secondary school English teacher for a little while, having taken the slightly mad decision to train as a teacher later in life. But she is now working freelance as an English tutor and creative practitioner.
