Caroline Lee

Fed up with polygraphs, security clearances and a daily commute, Caroline Lee fled a career writing classified reports for the Dept. of Defense to become a full-time storyteller and daydreamer-in-chief. Her musical theatre show, "The Last Storyteller" a tale based on her travels to Syria before the civil war, was presented in a public reading in collaboration with Midwest New Musicals and Light Opera Works. She enjoyed working with the musical theatre group of Chicago Dramatists and several of her musical theatre pieces have been presented in ASCAP-sponsored cabarets in Chicago.

Caroline lives with her husband in Delray Beach, FL. When she's done writing for the day, they often stroll the beach at sunset. and has author readings for kids online. She is thrilled that the first book, "Maxzyne Meets the Mannequins" won a 2020 Independent Press Award for Children's Fiction. Her second book, "Maxzyne and the Old Horse Theatre" won several Story Monster Royal Dragonfly awards. The third adventure for America's most Impulsive heroine, "Maxzyne Goes Aquamarine" is available now. Caroline is a member of the Society of Children's Bookwriters & Illustrators.
