Welcome to Leslie Rager Author's Writing Portfolio
Reunion in the Desert
Tentatively titled, Reunion in the Desert, is completed and ready for the first round of editing. I'm excited to dive into my first romance, and in keeping with the Jayne Stanford series, it's also based in Arizona. This time we travel to the beautiful, small town of Wickenburg, known as the 'Rodeo Capital of the World'.
I love writing series, and I have already begun research for subsequent novels with different characters. Reunion in Rome and Reunion in the Mediterranean will each have completely different characters but follow the same theme - can we find love when we least expect it with someone we once knew?

Verrado Artisan Festival
This was my last festival of the year, and a great way to close out 2025. I love meeting new readers and talking about the upcoming release of Reunion in the Desert.
Desert Foothills Book Festival
This is my third time participating in this event. Each year, it grows with more authors and attendees. It's definitely an event not to miss.

Verrado Fall Festival
There was a great turnout of readers at the Verrado Artisan Festival. I don't usually promote my books in this fashion, but I'm happy I did.
