Mark Leslie
Mark Leslie has been afraid of the dark his entire life - and has spent most of it writing about what lurks there. A writer, speaker and podcaster with more than thirty years in the Canadian book industry as a bookseller, bookstore manager and publishing representative, he turned his lifelong fascination with ghost stories into a body of paranormal nonfiction that includes Haunted Hamilton, Spooky Sudbury, Creepy Capital and Haunted Hospitals. In fiction he enjoys horror (One Hand Screaming: 20 Haunting Years) and urban fantasy (A Canadian Werewolf in New York). He grew up in Sudbury, Ontario, not far from the shores of Georgian Bay; lived in Hamilton, ON, for twenty years; and currently makes his home in Kitchener-Waterloo. The Great Lakes have never been far from his home, nor his imagination. Visit him at www.markleslie.ca
