Margaret Lesh

Margaret Lesh is the author of the young adult novels Normalish and My Friends Are All Strange, rom-com Finding a Man for Sylvia, as well as her memoirs Let Me Get This Off My Chest: A Breast Cancer Survivor Over-Shares, and other books. Her short stories have appeared in Brasilia Review, Dust Jacket Journal, and Not One of Us.

She lives in a Southern California canyon where burros roam freely–and visit often–with Steven and their high-maintenance cat. They have a son in grad school (where he's conducting interesting, impossible-sounding experiments and doing things that she mostly tries not to worry about).

A writer optimist, she is on the lookout for quality tacos, the occasional summertime g&t, and a cup of coffee with the right amount of cream and sugar.

She is thankful to everyone out there who reads her books. xo!
