leslietallmanning

I am an award-winning author who loves writing novels about grown-ups (GAGA, MAGGIE’S DREAM, KNOCK ON WOOD, and FERAL MARIL & HER LITTLE BROTHER CAROL), and teens (UPSIDE DOWN IN A LAURA INGALLS TOWN, I AM ELEPHANT, I AM BUTTERFLY, and RULES OF FALLING). I also enjoy writing plays, a few of which have been produced for the stage. When I'm not spending quality time with the characters in my head, conducting research for current projects, or tutoring my amazing students, I speak at libraries, schools, and book clubs. I am proudly represented by the TriadaUS Literary Agency and am currently working on an historical fiction adult novel.
