Lee Duigon

Lee Duigon, a contributing editor with the Chalcedon Foundation and a weekly columnist for News With Views, is the author of the critically-acclaimed Bell Mountain Series of fantasy/adventure novels. Long before that, he was a successful writer of horror novels.

Lee has been married to his wife, Patricia, for 35 years. As a Henry Rutgers Scholar he earned a degree in Political Science, specializing in the study of the Viking Age. He has won tournaments in chess and judo, and still plays basketball every week.

In addition to the three Bell Mountain novels already published by Storehouse Press--Bell Mountain, The Cellar Beneath the Cellar, and The Thunder King--two more are being prepared for publication later this year. "I would not be surprised if the Bell Mountain series wound up keeping me busy for the rest of my life," Lee says, "and I wouldn't mind that at all."

Lee's favorite authors (the ones he's learned the most from) include Agatha Christie, J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Arthur Upfield, Walter R. Brooks, and Edgar Rice Burroughs.
