Leslie McCaddon loves writing about families, grief and injustice. She has written pieces for Time magazine, Scary Mommy, Her View From Home, and other national publications. She is a grateful alumna of The Community of Writers where she workshopped a novel she is writing based on her great-grandparents early marriage. Sugar Skies takes place in 1926 Los Angeles, where justice gleams in gold badges and corruption festers behind them, Lieutenant Ross McKenna clings to the law—until loss ignites an obsession to have a child, drawing him and his new bride into the city’s underworld, where every act of love exacts a price.

Leslie recently moved to Central Florida with her four dogs. Her kids live and work all over the rest of the country and visit often. If she isn’t writing, she is probably at EPCOT, the dog park, or rewatching The West Wing.
