About Leslie
Leslie L. Stevens writes from Marfa, Texas — from the same West Texas landscape that haunts every page of her fiction. Before she was a novelist, she was a chef. Nearly two decades in professional kitchens gave her an understanding of precision and the way a single wrong element can ruin everything — or make it extraordinary.
