CANSCAIP Members Leslie CarmichaelAuthor
11 Bearberry Place NW
Born: Calgary BiographyLeslie Carmichael has been inside the Great Pyramid at Giza, has watched the world turn purple during a total solar eclipse, and has been an honoured guest at a Canadian-Scottish-Chinese wedding. She has swum in the Red Sea, picked amethysts out of the ground near Thunder Bay, watched a space shuttle land, and cooked a Medieval dinner for 200 people. She has worn a corset, a suit of armour and a Klingon outfit (but not all at the same time). Leslie also likes to work on miniature dolls and dollhouses when she’s not writing. She can crochet three-dimensional objects without a pattern, but finds knitting way too complicated. She sings soprano in a choir and loves just about any type of music. Her first children's book, Lyranel's Song, a medieval fantasy for ten and up, is about a young girl who is forbidden to use her magical talent -- but must! Leslie's other publication credits include short stories and articles for both children and adults, and comic interactive murder mystery plays. Leslie lives in Calgary, Alberta, with her husband, three children and two pixilated cats. Published WorksLyranel's Song, Blooming Tree Press, 2005. "Liranel's Gift", Mistletoe Madness, Blooming Tree Press, 2004. Articles and short stories in: American Miniaturist, The Canadian Quilter, Storyteller: Canada's Short Story Magazine and WestWord.
