About The Author
Lesley Pearse
International bestselling author Lesley Pearse has lived a life as rich with incidents, setbacks and joys as any found in her novels.
By the mid-sixties she was living in London, sharing flats, partying hard and married to a trumpet player in a jazz-rock band. She has also worked as a nanny and a Playboy bunny, owned a gift shop and designed and made clothes to sell to boutiques.
It was only after having one son and three daughters that Lesley began to write. She published her first book at forty-nine and has not looked back since. Lesley is still a party girl.
