Lesley Downie writes women’s and middle grade fiction. She loves to read and write do-over
stories, especially a good time-slip with a dash of the magic we find in everyday life. A
Massachusetts transplant now rooted in Southern California, she’s still a New England girl at
heart. A short list of her favorite things includes family, friends, popcorn, streaming British
espionage thrillers and historical dramas, and synchronicity. Her search for the ultimate low-
carb donut continues.
