Leslie Handler

Leslie is a Society of Newspaper Columnists award winner as well as a Gold eLit award winner. She’s an international syndicated columnist with Senior Wire News Service and a frequent contributor to WHYY and CityWide Stories. She freelances for The Philadelphia Inquirer, ZestNow, and Boomercafe, as well as blogs for HuffPost. NY Times Bestselling author Jenny Lawson says right on the cover of Leslie's book, Rats, Mice, and Other Things You Can’t Take to the Bank, that you should "read this book." Leslie currently lives smack dab between Philadelphia and New York City with husband Marty, dogs Maggie, Hazel, and Ginger, a collection of fish, said husband's cockatoo who she's been trying to roast for dinner for the last 33 years, and a few occasional uninvited guests.
