Ernesto H Lee

Ernesto H. Lee writes crime fiction that pushes beyond genre boundaries,

blending noir grit, speculative ideas, and emotionally driven storytelling.

His novels are known for flawed protagonists, relentless pacing, and an

underlying psychological tension that explores the cost of obsession,

loyalty, and difficult choices.

He is best known for The Dream Traveler series, a genre-bending crime saga

centered on dream-traveling detective Sean McMillan. When conventional

investigation fails, McMillan enters the subconscious to pursue answers

hidden in dreams, often at great personal risk. The series combines

hard-boiled detective fiction with psychological and speculative elements,

earning a loyal readership for its originality, moral complexity, and

momentum-driven plots.

The six novels in The Dream Traveler series are:

Out of Time

The Network

Finding Lucy

Fool’s Gold

Crunch Time

Unfinished Business

To welcome new readers into the series, the first two books are permanently

free on Kindle and other major online retailers.

Expanding beyond the Dream Traveler universe, Lee has also launched The New

Britannia Trilogy, a near-future political thriller series set in a

fractured society shaped by fear, control, and shifting power. The trilogy

explores how ordinary people are changed, and sometimes broken, by

extraordinary political and social forces. The series opens with Action

This Day, the first installment in a planned three-book arc.

In addition to his series work, Lee is the author of the standalone crime

novel Flawed Beauty, a dark and character-driven thriller that examines

obsession, identity, and the consequences of crossing moral lines.

He has also written the tragic romance Walk With Me: One Hundred Days of

Crazy, an emotionally raw and intimate love story published in 2019. The

novel was named a finalist for the 2019 Chatelaine Book Awards for Romantic

Fiction, highlighting Lee’s range beyond crime and thriller fiction.

Across genres, Ernesto H. Lee’s work is united by morally complex

characters, high-stakes decisions, and stories that linger long after the

final page.
