Lese Dunton is an author, reporter, editor, and award-winning essayist. She has worked for The New York Daily News, The New York Post, and CBS-Television, and started the online newspaper, The New Sun.

She is also the creator of the series, "Charlotte's New York Adventure," which has 3 books so far and is illustrated by Ena Hodzic. In the first Charlotte book, "A Girl With a Mission," a young girl lets go of fear and self-doubt and teams up with the Statue of Liberty and the Angel of Central Park. In the second one, "A Meeting in Midtown," the world leaders are coming to town but have no fear, Charlotte and her friends come to the rescue. In the 3rd book, "A Girl Takes the Lead," Charlotte becomes the Mayor of New York and magically everything gets better. Is she dreaming? Additionally, Ms. Dunton has written an ebook called "Simple Advice for a Happy Life." The best thing about it is that Raggedy Ann and Andy creator, Johnny Gruelle, is the illustrator.

Her short stories have been published in the collection book "Christmas Through the Eyes of a Child" and in a dozen audiobooks for Reading Town publishers.

In her work with The New Sun, she has interviewed George Harrison, Pulitzer Prize-winner Jimmy Breslin, President Jimmy Carter, John McEnroe, Judy Collins, and many others, while simultaneously editing the publication.
