Praise for Leslie Anne's Writing

Leslie Anne’s writing is like potato chips because when I read her stories I can’t put the book down.
I keep reading another
and another.

It’s as if Erma Bombeck met Scarlett O’Hara and raised an orphan writer on the Florida Panhandle then sent her to South Alabama.

—Alan Samry

'Bout to be laughing out loud to Leslie Anne Tarabella's Exploding Hushpuppies, 'cause there's nobody funnier than a Southern girl! I chuckled so hard at your

You will love her stories!
