Leslie Meier

Leslie Meier is an accomplished American author, well-known for her cozy mystery novels. After submitting a paper to a magazine, which was published, Meier decided to focus her writing career on her Lucy Stone character. She has since written sixteen novels in the Lucy Stone series, as well as contributing to Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine.

Meier's life experiences have significantly influenced her writing. She has drawn from her background as a mother and her work as a newspaper reporter to create her engaging stories. Meier currently resides in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, with her husband and is a proud grandmother of two.

Meier's writing is set in the fictional seaside village of Tinker's Cove, Maine, where her heroine, Lucy Stone, resides with her family. Stone is a reporter, and her character has evolved over time, paralleling Meier's own family. While Meier had initially wanted to become a high school English teacher, she found her calling in writing and has been successful in creating a popular series that readers enjoy.

Meier's books are classified as cozies, but she also considers them to be comedies of manners, offering her unique perspective on contemporary American life. She has written one travel mystery and hopes to have Lucy Stone solve mysteries in other cities and countries in the future.
