About Leslie

Leslie Hachtel sat down one morning years ago and wrote a novel. It was either that or clean her house. It wasn’t a very good book, but she had found her passion (and her house still needs dusting). Her various jobs over the years have included licensed veterinary technician, caterer, horseback riding instructor for the disabled, and advertising media buyer and they have given her a wealth of experiences.

So far, she has sold an episode of a TV show, had a screenplay optioned and produced nineteen novels, including ten historical romances, five romantic suspense, a time crossover, and three time travel. “Two more romances are in the works, one a sequel to “Murder Most Notorious” entitled ”Killing Most Notorious”, and should be released in the beginning of 2026. There will also be the final chapter in the time travel series, entitled “Losing Me”.

Leslie lives in Annapolis, Maryland with a fabulously supportive engineer husband and her writing buddy, Josie, the poodle mix. Leslie loves to hear from readers.
