Leslie TentlerLeslie Tentler worked in public relations as a writer and editor for nearly two decades before deciding to pursue her love of writing fiction. Her first manuscript won multiple Romance Writers of America chapter contest awards, incluing the prestigious Maggie Award of Excellence. Leslie is a native of Kingsport, Tennessee. Growing up, she was an avid reader, first of Nancy Drew novels and then surreptitiously devouring her mother's historical romances at probably too young an age. As she got older, her reading interests moved to dark contemporary romantic thrillers, which she writes today. She is a member of Romance Writers of America, International Thriller Writers, the Authors Guild, and Mystery Writers of America and lives in Atlanta with her husband, Robert, and their standard poodle, Tori.
