I had the opportunity to meet Leslie briefly at the 2009 Romantic Times Booklover's Convention. She was a warm, friendly woman who had already seen a lot of success but was still eager to help any new writer she could. She was very professional without seeming standoffish. She had a big personality without being intimidating. She was the kind of woman who immediately made you think, "That woman Gets Things Done." I am deeply saddened by this news of her early passing and even more so by the fact that her family will have to shoulder the tremendous expense of her medical bills, which her health insurance did not fully cover.
I have an extra copy of the second novel in her Crimson Moon series, BITE THE BULLET, which I will be giving away to a random commenter in the hopes that it makes you fall in love with her writing and you will purchase more of her books, thus easing her family's financial burdens. If you would like to enter, simply leave a comment on this entry by the end of the day on Friday, August 5th. Contest open to anyone, anywhere. Book info below. Feel free to cross-post.
Bite the Bullet
Sasha Trudeau considers herself a soldier first and a werewolf second. But while her secret government-sanctioned task-force faces its greatest challenge so far, Sasha faces something much more primal: the undeniable pull of the moon—and her own desires.
With rogue wolves savaging both the human and paranormal worlds, Sasha’s team of elite operatives has one job: destroy the rogues and isolate the deadly toxin that’s poisoned their blood. But the challenge is far more complicated than Sasha could have imagined. Soon she is thrust into a full-scale supernatural war for supremacy—and the only man left who Sasha can turn to might be the biggest danger to her of all. . .and in more ways than one.
