L. G. Smith

Lee Lee writes stories where people face danger, destiny, or desire — and survive it. Whether she’s crafting thrillers about the danger a human must escape, fantasy about the destiny they must escape, or romance about the desire they must navigate, her work always centers powerful, complex POC fighting for their lives, their magic, or their hearts. Most times more than one.

An African American author raised in Norfolk, Virginia, Lee Lee comes from generations of family rooted in Louisiana — the place she now calls home and the heartbeat behind much of her story telling. She’s married with five children, and when she manages to steal a moment for herself, you’ll find her watching BLs or listening to KPop.

Her characters are always POC, reflecting the worlds, cultures, and communities she loves.

Lee Lee’s books blend emotional depth with cinematic tension, delivering unforgettable stories about people who refuse to break — no matter what world they’re standing in.
