About leslie Kain
As a kid, Leslie Kain was always writing stuff – poems, stories, secret plans – culminating in running across country at 15, never looking back. In her careers (psychology, Government Intelligence, nonprofits), her writing was limited to nonfiction: professional, research. Finally dabbling in fiction, her short stories found their way into literary journals and anthologies. She developed personal relationships with her characters, who relentlessly nagged her into longer stories. Her debut novel, ‘Secrets In The Mirror’ published by Atmosphere Press September 2022, received multiple awards, and its sequel ‘What Lies Buried‘ (Book 2 of the DiMasi Family Trilogy) was released May 2024. The third/final book of the DiMasi family trilogy, ‘Power Play‘, is expected late 2025. A fourth book (standalone, unless her character demands a sequel), ‘Finding Harmony‘ is scheduled for 2026. Kain earned degrees from Wellesley College and Boston University, and leverages her education, training and experience in psychology to write stories of inner conflict and emotional transformation. Originally from “all over” the U.S. (although she prefers to claim Boston), she now resides in Mexico with her husband. You can connect with her on social media and her website.
