Lesley Livingston

About me:

Hi!! I am a writer and actor living in Canada.

My debut novel WONDROUS STRANGE was published in early 2009 by Harper Teen. It tells a story of adventure and romance with elements of A Midsummer Night's Dream when dangerous Faeries invade the mortal realm through a gateway in the middle of New York City's Central Park.

The second book in the trilogy, DARKLIGHT, will be in stores in December!

DARKLIGHT, the sequel to WONDROUS STRANGE officially hits bookstore shelves on DECEMBER 22, 2009 - but it's available for pre-order from Amazon now! Go reserve your copy!

Check out what the critics have to say:

"Dark enchantment and treacherous magic enliven every page." ~ MELISSA DE LA CRUZ, AUTHOR OF THE BLUE BLOODS SERIES

"Wow! Wondrous Strange is enchanting from beginning to end! With a marvelously refreshing heroine, a genuinely lovable hero, and a swift-moving, fascinating plot, Ms. Livingston gives a modern twist to the age-old epic ‘hero's coming of age' story. Set against the play A Midsummer Night's Dream, Wondrous Strange shows that the world of Faerie can be updated and yet retain its age-old charm—as well as its aura of deadly danger. This is my kind of fiction, and my kind of heroine! I enjoyed it immensely, and think Lesley Livingston will go far!" ~ LJ SMITH, AUTHOR OF THE NY TIMES BESTSELLING VAMPIRE DIARIES

"Completely absorbing and perfectly polished — Livingston's vision of faeries in the modern world is bright and exciting. A dazzling debut!"~ DON BASSINGTHWAITE, AUTHOR OF THE DOOM OF KINGS

"Many novels start off well. But rarely do they keep getting better, and better, until they deliver so much more than they promise that, by the end, a standing ovation is in order. Wondrous Strange is that rare kind of novel, deserving (and including) fireworks, bells, thunderbolts, showers of glitter and gales of applause. A nearly miraculous balancing act that juggles Celtic faerie shenanigans, New York City, a sense of humor, Shakespeare, courtly love, peril and honor and a perfectly logical plot that keeps twisting deeper and darker into layer after layer of magic -- and oh, by the way, did I mention that the characters are to love and die for? If you have ever in your life felt the lure of things most wondrous strange, don't miss this book. ~ NANCY SPRINGER, EDGAR AWARD WINNING AUTHOR OF THE ENOLA HOLMES SERIES
