Lesley St. James is the author of The Jill Cooksey Mysteries, a cozy mystery series about a public relations professional whose clients never fail to misbehave but whose friends always have her back. In 2020, Lesley's first novel, The Sweet Scent of Death, won Richmond Magazine and James River Writers' Best Unpublished Novel Contest. Lesley then started her own indie publishing business, Madcap Mystery, and released the novel to the world, along with the sequel, Death of a Dolly Waggler. The third Jill Cooksey mystery, Cruising Toward Death, is expected in August of 2022. Lesley began her career in film and television before moving to public relations and then to education. A devoted, lifelong reader of mysteries, she always knew the kind of books she would write. She graduated from Mary Washington College with a degree in English and French literature and went on to study film at Georgia State University. When she’s not writing or teaching writing, Lesley enjoys traveling, movies, and genealogy. She resides in Mechanicsville with her husband Matthew.
