LESLEY ANN MCDANIEL is a lifelong lover of words, natural health, and musical theatre. While pursuing a degree in acting, she began a personal quest toward true health, studying natural methods of healing and disease prevention. Professionally, she has worked in a medical research lab, and in theatrical costuming while nurturing her passion for writing on the side. Through God's guidance, she has shifted her focus to honing her skills as a writer/researcher. Her passion is to educate people about alternative health and healing, empowering them to make the best choices for themselves rather than being confined to the standards of western medicine. She also writes womens' inspirational fiction and is a member of the Northwest Christian Writers Association. A native Montanan and a Big Sky girl at heart, Lesley now resides in the Seattle area.
