London-born Australian Lesley Truffle has travelled extensively and worked in London and Japan. At present she’s living in a garret in Melbourne. She’s worked as a secondary teacher, photographer, hotel maid, fringe actor and in art galleries, bars, nightclubs and other jobs too ghastly to mention.

While exhibiting her art photography in Melbourne galleries Lesley realised she wanted to create imaginary stories and interior monologues, and returned to writing.

Her fiction piece 'A Man of Fashion' was published in 'Scarlet Stiletto:The Second Cut' in 2011, and 'Memoir of a Trollop' was performed by Baggage Productions: Madwomen Monologues in 2013. 'Memoir of a Trollop' will be performed again as part of the Madwomen Monologues retrospective

I built the entire town there as I wanted an untamed, fictional location for my novel 'The Scandalous Life of Sasha Torte'.
Upon arriving in Wolfftown, I'd immediately head to Sasha's patisserie for her sumptuous pastries washed down with Cognac. But if I arrived at night, I'd go straight to the Baudelaire Theatre to drink champagne in the bar and see their latest Shakespeare play. (less)
