Leslie K Simmons writes about people at the center of defining moments in the American past, using the power of Historical Fiction to illuminate and reveal how a past we didn’t live shapes the lives we live today. After decades of research, Leslie followed a path marked by serendipities to the story she knew she had to write, her debut novel, RED CLAY, RUNNING WATERS.
After decades working in jobs ranging from the factory floor, to the Video Game business, multinational companies, and the halls of Government, the story of the lives of John and Sarah Ridge and the Trial of Tears took center stage. It was in crafting this story her years doing research, communications and writing were turned towards a story that begged to be told.
Leslie has taught a course on Native Americans of the Southeast, restored two 19th Century houses (one award winning), and holds a degree in Anthropology and Art from the University of Arkansas. She has been a member of the Trail of Tears Association since 1999, belongs to the Women's Fiction Writers Association, and the Historical Novel Society. She is also a contributing moderator for the American Historical Novels Facebook group.
