Talena Winters Biography & Facts
Mark Leslie (born 1969) is a Canadian author of horror and speculative fiction. He is the author of the short story collection One Hand Screaming (2004), a collection of short stories and poetry, mostly in the horror genre, the horror novel I, Death, (2014) the thriller Evasion (2014) and the editor of the science fiction anthology North of Infinity II (2006) and horror anthology Campus Chills (2009). Leslie is also the author of Haunted Hamilton: The Ghosts of Dundurn Castle & Other Steeltown Shivers (2012), Spooky Sudbury: True Tales of the Eerie & Unexplained (2013)(co-authored with Jenny Jelen) and Tomes of Terror: Haunted Bookstores and Libraries (2014)Leslie, whose full name is Mark Leslie Lefebvre, jokes that he decided to write under the name Mark Leslie because it would be easier for people to spell and pronounce. Because he has been known in the book industry as Mark Lefebvre (former President of the Canadian Booksellers Association and Director of Self-Publishing and Author Relations for Rakuten Kobo, Inc) he released both his podcast and a series of books about writing, bookselling, and publishing, under his full name.In 2020, Leslie, Sean Costello and Scott Overton published Strange Sudbury Stories, an anthology of horror stories set in Sudbury.In 2021, Leslie won the 2021 Kobo Writing Life Indie Cover Contest for Fear and Longing in Los Angeles, which was designed by Juan Padron. In a 2021 interview, Leslie shared that the novel includes a special cameo appearance by Alicia Witt, whose music, empathy, and kindness to the novel's main character, Michael Andrews, helps him reach a pivotal moment in his life. Because Witt is an indie musician and owns access to most of her recorded work, she allowed Leslie use of the song lyrics in the book, as well as audio clips from her songs Already Gone, and Friend in the audiobook version of the novel.Born and raised in Onaping Falls, Leslie lived in Hamilton, Ontario for twenty years, then moved to Waterloo, Ontario in January 2018.
