About Steve N. Lee

Steve lives in the North of England. He loves travel, exploring new cultures and seeking out new experiences, and questioning why things are the way they are, yet he's never more at home, or happier, than when he's having a laugh with friends over a beer, or walking Yorkshire's wondrous countryside with his partner, Ania (a therapist for children with special needs and, strangely enough, the great granddaughter of a writer - Wladyslaw Reymont, the winner of the 1924 Nobel Prize in Literature award).

Academically, Steve has studied subjects as diverse as engineering and philosophy. Professionally, he's worked in raucous rock bands and a whisper-quiet library. Privately, while being an accomplished martial artist, he's a committed pacifist. It's this huge breadth of contrasting experiences, insights, and skills that makes Steve's writing so unique, imaginative and compelling.
