Profile: Leslie Budewitz

Local author Leslie Budewitz poses with her cat Ruff and the poster for her new book Assault and Pepper at her home in Bigfork on Monday, January 12. Although Ruff is not on the cover of this book he is the cover model for the the Food Lovers Village Mysteries (the third in the series is due out in July) and there is a cat very much like him in that series.
