Book Nerd Spotlight
Leslie has been writing stories for as far back as she can remember!
She is excited to have the opportunity to share her stories outside
of her supportive friends and family.
While perfecting her craft (which includes a Harry Potter Fan Fic called After the Bezoaron Checkmated), Leslie has worked for more years than she cares to admit as a Creative Director and a Marketing Director for an international financial services company, writing countless TV commercials, direct mail packages, brochures, and marketing strategies.
In addition to writing books, Leslie writes several blogs, is the founder of Good Manners Kids Stuff and just launched Good Manners Kids Stuff Press.
Leslie lives with her husband Bill (whom she met many years ago in The Savoy Company, a Gilbert and Sullivan Opera group) and their two daughters outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where they enjoy typical busy lives filled with work, school, activities, sports and music (and reading, of course). She has a B.A. in English Literature from Gettysburg College (where, incidentally, she started the Zephram tales back in Dr. Clark’s creative writing class).

“This is a great easy read that reminds not just the kids in your family but also parents, and in my case, grandparents how important it is to be a Good Sport. Basic sports etiquette that works just as well with Dad's Sunday Soccer game as with the munchkin's is presented in an engaging and entertaining way. Memorable reminders teach this important etiquette and keep it top of mind and simple for the whole family!”

Parents are as big a factor in a child's perception of sports as the children themselves, and the parents attitude becomes the children's.
