Bewildering Stories biography

to Bewildering Stories bibliography

Lesley Mace writes her stories and novels with the comforting sound of background bubbling as her home-made wines ferment.

Lesley has been writing since 2003 and has written over seventy short stories, many of which have been published or have won prizes in competitions. She writes in genres including: crime, horror, literary, supernatural, historical and contemporary.

Last year, helped by a grant from Arts Council England, she completed her novel “Fathoming Shadows.” The book is set partly in Cornwall in the 1830s and partly in Cornwall and London in 2007, Lesley is seeking representation for this book.

In February 2008 her short story “The Ash Tree” will appear in All Hallows magazine.

Lesley is currently working on a new book set in Victorian London. She coordinates the writers’ group, ‘The Stortford Scribblers’, in her home town of Bishop’s Stortford, Hertfordshire, England.
