Profile: Lezlee Mennell

About This Author

When her three children left school Lezlee did quite a bit of training at Hull College. She ran a Community House and several community groups as well as becoming a school governor classroom assistant and school librarian. She has always had a passion for animals and cared for many strays or unwanted pets. Lezlee supports several animal charities and takes a keen interest in the environment and occasionally goes for walks along the nearby Nature Reserve. Now retired she lives with her husband in their bungalow but still leads an active life. She is involved with the nearby Methodist church and became a local preacher. For her, the church is a very important part of life, apart from home it is where she feels safe and among friends. It is where she believes that her call for help came from when she was at her lowest ebb and more importantly where she was listened to but not judged. She also supports a charity that pays for a child to go to school in Africa. She feels education is important to all children and their future depends much on what they learn; it also lets the child know that someone loved them enough to pay for their education. Lezlee has three wonderful children and seven fantastic grandchildren as well as a loving husband. She loves to read and her favourite authors are Deryn Lake, Michael Jecks, Bruce Alexander, Ann Granger and Edward Marston. When not reading writing or at church she spends a relaxing time in her small garden.
