Lesley Jepps started writing stories for her class at an RAF forces school in the Hook of Holland in the 1950s when she was eight years old. Her teacher, Miss Stevenson, saw potential and put in her report that she may well be a future novelist. She entered Lesley in the Cadbury's writing competition for schools and was delighted when her pupil came second. Lesley remembers being at her Gran and Grandad's house in Stockport, when a certificate arrived and a box of Cadbury's chocolates. By then, her father had finished his tour of duty in Holland and after some time attending school in Stockport, Lesley and her family were posted to Warton in Lancashire. She attended another forces school on the RAF camp, her eighth to date. This was the price to be paid for being the daughter of an RAF corporal and travelling around the world. Postings had included trips to Egypt, Germany, Holland, Warton Lancs, and from there to Nicosia Cyprus. Each country and their people, had opened Lesley's eyes to other ways of life, and this helped her to develop her writing in later years.

After her parents' divorce, she and her sister and mother settled in a flat in Lytham, Lancashire. She attended the Kirkham secondary modern, where she enjoyed her English literature classes and writing essays on the books she was reading. She left school at sixteen and worked in a library by day and studyed for an A=level in English in the evening. She failed the first exam, but did another year and passed, which enabled her to be accepted on a teacher training course at Poulton-Le-Fylde. Here she was able to study books and write plays for schools. One, she called 'The Holly Tree', and she and other friends, performed this in local schools. She also performed in the drama group and went on visits to watch plays such as 'The Cherry Tree' and 'Waiting for Godot', as well as Shakespeare at Stratford on Avon. There were also trips to Lancaster University to hear John Williams and Ralph McTell play their music. She had already begun to learn to play the guitar before attending college, and loved folk music. Later in life, she joined a guitar club and expanded her love of all genres, playing in the house band with her husband Steve, who plays bass.

She and her husband met in the North, and moved to the South, where they had two children. When they were seven and eight years old, she would put them to bed, and work on her first novel, 'Umbrella in Time', until 2am, night after night. At this time she also completed a writing course with the London School of Journalism.

Lesley is also a reflexologist and reiki healer and has had articles published in the Freelance Informer magazine and local newspapers on the benefits of reflexology for head injuries. She also specialised in fertility and pregnancy and had an article published on this subject in Wellness magazine. She has written an article about life after death for Psychic News and has had four stories published in Spirit and Destiny magazine and one in Yours magazine.

Lesley says the following about her work:
In all of my stories and my latest novel, I write about life after death. I have believed for many years now, that we just pass into the world of spirit and continue to live, being aware of our loved ones on earth. I believe we come here to learn about love and then go back to our true home. Our loved ones are only a breath away. Nothing dies.
