I love talking to readers and writers! If you’d like me to visit your library, 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!

Most recently, I participated in the Humanities Montana Festival of the Book, giving a short talk and reading from Death al Dente, and participating in a panel discussion with four other writers of fiction set in Montana.

And if you don’t know me and want to be sure I can string two sentences together without sounding like I’m strangling a giraffe, catch me on the radio! My interview on The Write Question, a program of Montana Public Radio, broadcast live this week, but can be streamed or downloaded as a podcast. It was producer Cherie Newman’s 251st author interview in 6 years — can you imagine?

And thanks for considering me!
