Leslie is an avid reader and outdoors enthusiast. She lives in Wisconsin but is a native of Scottsbluff, Nebraska.

The idea for Male Order came from a fiery argument with her husband, Ron. During the heat of the moment, she told him she would like to take every last male (especially him!) and put them all on an island. The only way a man could get off the island was when he was ordered to do something useful.

Though she apologized later, she realized there might be a story there. Three years later, Male Order was finished!

Male Order is Leslie's first novel. She is currently working on her next writing project.

That's a fascinating question! The answer I would like to give would be the Kinsey Millhone Alphabet series by Sue Grafton. Kinsey is smart, resourceful, and one tough cookie. Unfortunately, I'm a bit risk averse so I could never be as cool as she is. So far I have lived a fulfilling life but I don't think it would make a very good read as nothing very mysterious has happened to me...yet! Thanks for the question! Leslie(less)

The Sands of Time

Hello friends!

My, oh, my. I have not posted here is a very long time. I guess the reasons are as complicated as I want them to be, but in the end it was my choice to be neglectful of this blog. My bad. But, I'm all about fresh starts so here goes.

The last project I was working on was a non-fiction book. Unfortunately, that project just couldn't get off the ground. I was in all the way; the other p Read more of this blog post »

“Susan said, “I don’t think you need to pee on a stick for us to know you’re knocked up. Unless…”

“Unless what?” Hestia hiccupped.

Susan continued, a perturbed look on her face. “Unless you’re always like this?”
Leslie Hanshew, Male Order

“Don’t know what to tell ya, kid. Everything in life is up to chance. Sometimes fortune smiles on you, and sometimes you fall in a grease pit.” - Member Susan”
Leslie Hanshew, Male Order

“She was always fearful the profusion of flowers decorating her front porch might irritate her neighbors and draw unwanted attention. Bright, fragrant petunias cascaded down like waterfalls from huge hanging baskets attached to the porch railing. Massive planters held ferns the size of ceiling fan blades; the ferns stood sentry over mounds of multicolored impatiens in such abundance they resembled the vibrant blur of a Monet landscape.”
Leslie Hanshew, Male Order

“When you write a book, you spend day after day scanning and identifying the trees. When you’re done, you have to step back and look at the forest.”
Stephen King, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft

“Watch your thoughts, they become words;
watch your words, they become actions;
watch your actions, they become habits;
watch your habits, they become character;
watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.”
Frank Outlaw

Leslie Hanshew, Male Order

“The fortune floated slowly to the carpet like a feather shed from a white bird, spinning slow circles in the wind. The paper landed face up, and it simply read:
You are in love with a child you have never met.”
Leslie Hanshew, Male Order
