L. Smith is the father/daughter team of Les Smith and Loni Smith Schneider. They are often mistaken for each other on paper as Leslie is more often considered a girl's name and Loni, or Lonnie, is more often considered a boy's.

Les, the main author, was raised in a small farming community in Southern Idaho, the 2nd of 6 children. He held degrees in Communications and Law, spoke several languages and was an attorney by trade. He served a 2-year religious mission in Africa. Upon his return home, he married his high school sweetheart and they had 10 children. He was an avid reader and scholar with a quiet demeanor, a sly smile and a quick wit. Les has since passed away.

Loni, the co-author, was raised in a small suburban town in South Jersey, the 4th of 10 children. She studied English with an emphasis on Creative Writing, but also dabbled in Music, Politics and Business. She married her best friend and North Jersey rival. They have 4 "Mary Poppins" children together (practically perfect in every way), whom they raised in Utah. She and her husband are currently living in Europe.

"Saving Adam" was the authors' first and last published book together. It won the publisher's Critic's Choice Award and was their #1-selling book the first month of its release.
