This week we welcome Leslie Bradford-Scott to Word on the Hills. Leslie is the author

of the upcoming memoir The Liar's Playbook (Simon & Schuster,

2026), an Indigo Most Anticipated pick for 2026. Her path to publication

was anything but conventional — she sold the book on proposal in three

weeks, without an agent, after more than two decades of writing

screenplays, essays, and building a multi-million-dollar personal care

brand, Walton Wood Farm, from her laundry room. She is currently at work

on her first novel. Leslie lives in Northumberland County.
