Who is J. Lee?
J. Lee’s journey began amidst the cornfields and close-knit communities of rural southern Illinois, playing basketball and baseball in a town with no stoplights—a stark contrast to the intellectual melting pot he encountered at Duke University. There, surrounded by brilliant minds from across the globe, he honed his engineering skills.
J. Lee's professional life has been as diverse as his background. Still, his passion has borne fruit in the form of several award-winning novels that have captivated readers with their intricate plots, compelling characters, and edge-of-your-seat suspense.
The Hubley Case, his debut novel, garnered critical acclaim, earning the prestigious New York City Big Book Award® and The Best Book Award for Best Thriller. This success was no fluke, as his second book, The Silent Cardinal, further solidified his reputation as a master of suspense.
His writing reflects his own down-to-earth personality and appreciation for life's simple things. He remains grounded by his strong family ties, with his wife serving as his most trusted reader and editor, providing invaluable feedback that shapes his narratives. When he's not crafting heart-pounding thrillers, he can be found on the golf course, enjoying the tranquility of nature, or exploring the countryside on his bicycle, always seeking inspiration for his next literary adventure. His life is a testament to the power of pursuing one's passions, a journey that has taken him from the baseball fields of his youth to the realm of award-winning authors, with many more exciting chapters yet to be written.
