When I was in college, my car was stolen outside of the Friendly's where I worked. I've always wanted to know what happened to my car (my baby, sniff). I like to think it was taken by someone desperate to get away from danger. The person had no choice. It was either steal my 1983 Toyota Corolla or perish! Actually, this is starting to intrigue me.

I'm currently searching for my next great read, a book that will suck me in, chew me up, and spit me out. I like history, mystery, and romance when it's all mixed up together. If you have a suggestion, I want to hear it. Message me on Goodreads or email me at lesleystjames@gmail.com.

I walk away from the computer and let the problem percolate in the back of my head. Eventually, my subconscious always works it out, usually while I'm in the shower or driving in the car.

I would definitely travel to Narnia hoping for an Aslan encounter. That would be something!

Creating other worlds is probably the best part. Yes, the world of my characters looks a lot like the real world, but I get to customize it and make it exactly the way I want it. It's so much fun.

My advice is to read...a lot! And keep writing. Never give up. The first book may feel like climbing Mt. Everest, but the next one will be easier.

I'm currently working on the sequel to "The Sweet Scent of Death." Jill Cooksey's next adventure promises to be even funnier than the first.

I look for the humor in daily life. I love writing about the ridiculous things that happen every day.

The idea for "The Sweet Scent of Death" came from my time working in public relations and living in New York in my twenties.
