Leslie Olmo

Leslie Olmo is a new children’s book author with two best-selling children’s books under her belt!

Leslie lives with her husband and two daughters in Wake Forest, North Carolina. In addition to her family and friends, she loves Hatteras Island, peanut butter fudge, the Buckeyes, knitting, and the family dog! After many years in the corporate world wearing business attire 24/7, Leslie does not usually go anywhere that requires more than shorts, t-shirts, a ponytail, and flip flops!

Leslie's experience raising two wonderful girls into young adulthood has been an inspiration for her work. As a parent, she recognizes that children are often the spark that motivates us to think through our values and priorities so that we can live out a meaningful life.

Today's world is so complicated! While we cannot combat all of life's troubles, Leslie believes we can make an effort to share consistent and encouraging messages that will resonate for a lifetime. Leslie has found that the best lessons are those that break larger concepts into short, simple, and memorable messages.

The best messages make us feel good about ourselves and the world around us. Simple core-value messages make us better decision-makers when it's time to take action in this high-pressure world of changing priorities. Leslie finds this to be true for both children and adults and strives to reinforce these concepts in all her writings.

What does the future hold? An Empty Nest? Oh, no! She is in denial! With one daughter starting college and one just graduated, she will still have lots of "mom" stuff to do. She has plans for additional children's books and will be offering a selection of books for adults as well.
