AUTHOR BIO
LESLIE A. WHEELER
Leslie Wheeler is a transplanted California who has lived in the Northeast for many years and has strong New England roots. A graduate of Stanford University with a master's in English from UC/Berkeley, Leslie has taught adult education, worked as an in-house writer and editor for Barron's Educational Series, then as a free lance writer specializing in history and biography for both the school and trade markets. An award-winning author of books about American history and biographies, Leslie now writes the Miranda Lewis “living history” mystery series. Titles include MURDER AT PLIMOTH PLANTATION, MURDER AT GETTYSBURG, and the recently published, MURDER AT SPOUTERS POINT. Her short crime fiction has appeared in the anthologies: WINDCHILL, SEASMOKE, STILL WATERS, DEADFALL and THIN ICE, all published by Level Best Books, to which she is now a contributing editor. Leslie is a member of Mystery Writers of America and Sisters in Crime, serving as Speakers Bureau Coordinator for the New England Chapter. Leslie and her family, which includes a teenage son, a cat and a host of fictional characters, divide their time between Cambridge, Massachusetts and the Berkshires. In her spare time, she enjoys cooking, gardening and going out on other people’s sailboats—provided they do all the work. Writing "living history" mysteries enables Leslie to combine a passion for American history, an enjoyment of the mystery genre, and a lifelong love of storytelling in all forms.
