Leslie Howard

While nurturing a lifelong dream of becoming a writer, Leslie Howard earned a degree in economics and political science and went on to a successful career in one of Canada’s leading financial institutions. Her 2020 debut novel, The Brideship Wife (Simon & Schuster), became a national bestseller. Four years later, her second novel, The Celestial Wife (Simon & Schuster), received praise from the Toronto Star and Chatelaine magazine. Howard divides her time between Vancouver and a small cider apple farm in the Okanagan Valley, BC.
