Lesley Barklay

Lesley Barklay has taught high school English, German, and History in rural and outback NSW since 2003. She loves bossing people around, reading, writing, editing, and mentoring young writers. Lesley is the author of fantasy novel Remnant, and the co-author of A Comedy of (Classroom) Errors - a book of short true stories about teaching.

She is currently working on an adult fantasy series, a YA scifi series, a middle-grade adventure series, and a lower-grade biblical fiction series, because she is a sucker for punishment. Why write one series, when you can write four?

Lesley lives with her husband, eleven-year-old son, eight-year-old daughter, and one chicken in Moree. In her spare time, you can find her procrastinating from writing by watching authortube. That counts, right?
