About the Author
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, and designed and made clothes to sell to boutiques.
 
It was only after having 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.
