Margaret Lesh is the author of the young adult novels Normalish and My Friends Are All Strange, as well as her memoirs Let Me Get This Off My Chest: A Breast Cancer Survivor Over-Shares, and other books. Her short stories have appeared in "The Brasilia Review" and "Dust Jacket Journal." 

She lives in Southern California with Steven and their high-maintenance cat. They have a son in grad school (where he's conducting impossible-sounding experiments and doing all sorts of sciencey things). 

A writer optimist, she is on the lookout for quality tacos, the occasional summertime g&t, and a cup of coffee with the right amount of cream and sugar.
