As a child growing up in a sleepy rural town, Leslie Aldridge always enjoyed dreaming of faraway lands and exciting adventures. In her younger years, she satisfied her wanderlust by taking several road trips across North America. Now, fully settled into family life, she must live out her adventures through the characters in her stories.

When not reading, writing, or engaging in the bane of her existence, otherwise known as housework, Leslie can often be found tending to her vegetable garden. She also enjoys hiking, camping, fishing, and anything that gets her outdoors – even shovelling snow.

Leslie is the author of The Nebril Riverland Chronicles, a young adult fantasy series. She lives in Ontario, Canada with her husband and three daughters and is currently saving up to buy a hobby farm.
