Lesley Hale was a deputy headteacher in a lovely Leicestershire junior school before deciding to spend more time on her writing. Born and raised in London, she benefited from a creative 1970s primary education, which in her memory consisted of reading fabulous books and making felt gonks. Luckily some rigor was introduced through attending a girls' grammar school, otherwise she'd never have got to university, where she studied History and Landscape Archaeology.

Lesley's love of history influences many of her stories. She also likes to travel and in 2010 took a year off to travel around Europe in a small van while spending time finishing her first novel, which is set in the Tudor period. You can read about her travels on http://charliedogcame

This was called 'small beer', and was often drunk at meals, including breakfast, instead of drinking water, which was often impure and downright dangerous.(less)
Lesley Hale I sit and stare at the screen a lot. Take the dog for a walk. Paint a picture. Write something else - like a small exercise or a 100 word challenge.

Lola
          Her name is Lola. She is a show-off. She likes to drink a lot of wine, then she gets right out of line.          It’s a family joke and really, I wouldn’t mind the fact that Lola drank a lot, or that when she did a torrent of foul language worthy of a Tourette’s sufferer tended to tumble from her perfect red lips. I could just about cope with the fact that she often took the Mich Read more of this blog post »
