Lee is a musician and horror writer living in the historic city of Lincoln, in the UK. Having taught guitar for over 20 years, alongside being a practitioner and instructor of historical martial arts and swordsmanship, he now turns his hand to writing speculative fiction and dark fantasy horror. Currently working on his debut fantasy series The Dead Sagas, which includes the novels A Ritual of Bone, A Ritual of Flesh, and the upcoming A Ritual of Blood, Lee is also often to be found generally writing dark SFF and horror fiction, fighting people with swords, or searching for the spookiest words.
