Nominee
Wondrous Strange
Lesley Livingston
HarperCollinsCanada


Lesley Livingston is a writer and actor living in Toronto, Canada.
Captivated at a young age by stories of mythology and folk lore, past
civilizations, and legendary heroes, she developed into a full-fledged
Celtic Mythology Geek, steeped in stories of the Otherworld, Faeries
and King Arthur. Lesley went on to earn a Master’s Degree in English
from the University of Toronto specializing in Shakespeare and
Arthurian literature.

For almost three years, Lesley hosted weekly late-night movie
marathons on the nationally broadcast television show, SPACEBAR, as
the Waitron-9000, a sparkly holographic waitress with an encyclopedic
knowledge of obscure B-movie trivia. She is also a founding member and
principal performer with TEMPEST THEATRE GROUP.

Lesley is an unrepentant egghead – a character-trait that somehow
doesn’t interfere with a love of shoes and shiny things. WONDROUS
STRANGE is her debut novel, the first in a trilogy published by
HarperCollins. The second book in the series, DARKLIGHT, will be in
stores in December 2009.
