Leslie Simmons won the 2024 Book Award for her book Red Clay, Running Waters in the Genre Fiction category. Leslie Simmons writes Historical Fiction about people in the center of defining moments in American history. Her debut novel, Red Clay, Running Waters uses the power of story to explore how a past we didn’t live shapes the lives we live today. Leslie grew up in Philadelphia, following in the footsteps of the founding fathers. A lifelong reader and lover of all things historical, she is fascinated by the lessor known lives of those who changed history. After decades of research into the Cherokee, Indian Removal, the Ridge family, and the Antebellum Era, Leslie followed a path marked by serendipities to the book she knew she had to write.
