Leslie has been a guest on numberous podcasts and her talks are engaging and thought-provoking. Leslie has often said some people have a stroke of luck, she had one at birth. Having limited use of her right side and numerous surgeries allowed her to be a keen observer of human behavior. She referes to her body as her "bargain basement body" and doctors as the "men in white coats" because she has had a lifelong relationship with them. She uses dictation for each of her novels and often jokes "I haven't typed a single word." She brings this unique perspective to her writing with humor and heart.
