Marie Leslie is a lifelong lover of words and writing. Shortly after reading her first book, she knew she would grow up to be a writer. After a high school photography class taken to fill a gap in her schedule, she fell in love with the art of visual storytelling and is rarely seen without a camera. From a stint as an editor on her Southern California high school paper, she pursued a degree in investigative journalism from SDSU. While there she started a photography business, which she ran for 30 years, while raising her four children, and pursuing a career as a freelance writer. During that time, she learned the art of creative marketing. She later used those skills as a business marketing consultant. After several moves around the country for her husband’s career, she is now settled in a forest in South Carolina, writing, baking, coaching entrepreneurs, and hiking with her camera through the forest whenever possible.
