Welcome Leslie Bowes...

​Tell us a bit about yourself 
I was born and raised in southern Maryland. When I was thirteen, I moved Summerville, South Caroline where I fell in love with the Lowcountry culture and history. South Caroline was my inspiration for my book Heart Healer. Recently I moved to central Va and now I am enjoying the beauty and history of this area. The rolling hills and pastoral views will surely inspire ideas for future stories

How do you find time to write? 
I try to write a few hours every day.
