Working first with the antique instruments
of paper and pen, she moved to an equally antique computer
that was strictly DOS. That would have been enough to
stop any writer.
Moving from novels to scripts has been challenging
and rewarding. Leslie truly believes she has found her
niche, though she misses the using the wonderful plethora
of words that she could use when writing a novel.
Leslie has a BA from the University of Colorado, Boulder
and has indefinitely postponed finishing her MBA from
the University of Hawaii.
She owned a business, Silverworks, Ltd., in Boulder
for 17 years and is currently working at the First National
Bank of Colorado on a part time basis.
