Leslie A. Westbrook

Leslie Andrea Westbrook is a third generation Californian who has been a newspaper columnist, magazine editor and freelance writer for most of her adult life. She has written books and articles on travel, the 100-year history of a college, design and weird people she has known. She lives in Summerland, California where she writes with a view to the sea. The "Insiders Guide to Santa Barbara" is truly that: with the exception of surviving two and a half long years of cold winters in New York City, she has resided in sunny Santa Barbara, California for over 30 years.
