Mark is a writer and editor who was born and grew up in Sudbury, spent many years in Ottawa and currently lives in Hamilton, Ontario. From 1993 until 2006 Mark worked for Indigo Books and Music, Inc. (previously known as Chapters; and prior to that known as Coles). In August of 2006, Mark retired from Indigo and began working at Titles - McMaster University's bookstore, which turned 75 years old the year he joined.
Mark is married not only to his writing but also to his beautiful wife Francine. Their favourite pet, a little dwarf bunny named Mister Bunny who helped teach them how to keep life simple died peacefully in the spring of 2006 after living a full and happy life.
In July of 2004, Mark and Francine were blessed with a little boy, Alexander.
Apart from being published in numerous publications (under the name Mark Leslie), as well as having works occasionally appearing on his mother's refrigerator door, (under the name Mark Lefebvre), Mark used to write reviews and interviews and previously edited the non fiction content of Northern Fusion magazine (under the name Mark Leslie Lefebvre). When he took on the role of series editor for the North of Infinity sci-fi anthology series for Mosaic Press, Mark settled on the shorter Mark Leslie. When he's not playing around with his three given names, he can usually be found wandering, awestruck through bookstores or libraries.
