My sister and partner-in-crime during the early years, Lesley is my best friend and mentor. Her writing is vivid, witty and poignant, and I'm not saying that just because she's my sister. Read her books.

Her first novel, Relative Happiness (Vagrant Press) was short-listed for the Margaret and John Savage First Book Award at the 2006 Atlantic Canada Book Festival. Her second novel, Shoot Me, was released in September 2006.

Friend, critique partner, and author, Selena draws people to her book signings like flies to honey and gets editors on the phone the first time, every time (never a voice mail, like I do). Without her I'd still be wondering what 'rich text format' means and how to get 25 lines per page.

Her book, Sabrina's Destiny, won the Reviewers Choice Award, the Treble Heart Best Book Contest, and was nominated for the 2005 C.A.P.A. award. If you're looking for a sparkling, funny, heart-warming read, Sabrina's Destiny is for you.
