Lesley Downie is the author of middle-grade adventure and contemporary women’s fiction. She loves to read <em>and</em> 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.
