I love talking to readers and writers! If you’d like me to visit your book club or writers’ group, or give a presentation at a writers’ conference, drop me a note at leslie AT lawandfiction DOT com  I can talk about Death al Dente, my first cozy mystery coming out this summer, common mistakes writers make about the law, the cozy mystery, characterization, setting, selling that first traditionally published book, the writing life … and more!

Last fall, I had a great time as a presenter for the 22d Annual Flathead River Writers Conference, sponsored by the Authors of the Flathead. Plans for the 23d Annual conference on Sept 28-29 in Kalispell, Montana are shaping up now — check it out.

That’s me in the pink, with Roxanne McHenry , an expert in e-book publishing and marketing — so sorry the picture makes her look a bit grumpy — she’s not, I promise!
