Steve Leshin - Author/Cartoonist
 Welcome. In college, I became a history major and an avid reader. My favorite authors include historians like Doris Kearns Goodwin, and popular fiction writers like Robert B. Parker, and Clive Cussler. Before I became an author I created and sold cartoons to magazines. One magazine editor suggested I was a better writer than a cartoonist since I wrote my gags to go with the cartoons. Years later my interest in historical figures led me to write my first novel, called "Vengeance of the Ripper".  The sequel to this novel led me to start a series based on a police captain that appeared in Vengeance of the Ripper. When I am not writing novels, I like to travel, take walks outdoors as well as play golf, and I love to read of course.
