Lesley Barklay has taught high school English, German, and History in rural and outback NSW since 2003. She loves bossing people around, reading, writing, editing, and mentoring young writers. Lesley is currently working on an adult fantasy series, a YA scifi series, a Christian romance, and a middle-grade adventure series, because she is a sucker for punishment. Why write one series, when you can write four?

Lesley lives with her husband, twelve-year-old son, nine-year-old daughter, and one chicken in Moree. In her spare time, you can find her procrastinating from writing by watching authortube. That counts, right?

Lesley Barklay is 37% done with Utopia: I read this when I was in year 12 as part of a unit called: Utopias and Anti-Utopias (dystopia was not a commonly used term in 1999). I wasn't expecting to enjoy it (but I have to read it, because I'm teaching it, but I have to say, it is kinda hilarious!

I have to admit, I wasn't sure what to think about all the talk about wedgies at the beginning. This was touted as an enemies to lovers book, but the MCs weren't really enemies. It was more like, they both met, hit it off

“firmly.”
Lesley Barklay, Road to Bethlehem

“If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world.”
C.S. Lewis

“I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.”
C.S. Lewis

“Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again.”
C.S. Lewis

“I'm fully aware," Firth told a reporter for the English magazine Now, "that if I were to change professions tomorrow, become an astronaut and be the first man to land on Mars, the headlines in the newspapers would read: `Mr. Darcy Lands on Mars.”
Colin Firth

“Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong! - I have as much soul as you, - and full as much heart! And if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you!”
Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre
