Leslie Ann Moore
Leslie Ann Moore is an American author. Griffin's Daughter, which won the 2008 Ben Franklin Award for Best First Fiction, is her first novel.
Leslie Ann Moore was born in Los Angeles, California at the tail-end of the baby boom. From an early age, her parents exposed her to the beauty and wonder of art, music, and literature. She learned to read before she started school, and books were her constant companions.
For as long as she can remember, Leslie Ann's been a storyteller. As a child, she made up tales to entertain family, friends and anyone else who'd listen! At night, she'd lie in bed, while elaborate "movies" screened in her head, complete with distinct characters, complex dialogue, and action sequences. She didn't think this strange; it was just something she did to entertain herself.

Reviews and Comments
Lesley Ann Moore's debut fantasy book, Griffin's Daughter (the first book of the Griffin's Daughter Trilogy), is quite an interesting book. I think it's the best romantic fantasy debut I've read this year. Lesley Ann Moore writes good and fluent romantic fantasy. Griffin's Daughter is more original than many other new romantic fantasy books. I don't normally read romantic fantasy (I usually read epic high fantasy books), because some books are quite horrible and boring, but this time I found myself enjoying the story and wanted to read the whole book. It was quite nice to read something different. Although some people might consider this book to be a young adult fantasy book, I think it's adult fantasy. The writing style is quite close to YA writing style, but there are some things, which make it adult fantasy. In my opinion Griffin's Daughter was an entertaining book and after some consideration I decided to give it four stars for its entertainment values. If you're interested in reading entertaining romantic fantasy, this book is a good choice.
