Miles Lee

Miles Lee is the creator of the Swim Stars series and co-founder of KeepsMeS. Swim Stars is a heartfelt collection of stories inspired by the real-life adventures, nerves, and victories that unfold on pool decks everywhere. A parent of three and lifelong storyteller, Miles didn’t grow up swimming but found himself captivated by the sport once his kids joined their first team. Watching them learn discipline, teamwork, and self-confidence sparked his mission to capture those lessons in stories kids could see themselves in.

Before writing Swim Stars, Miles spent years working in technology and business, always drawn to projects that connect people and ideas. Writing became a way to bridge those worlds—combining structure, problem-solving, and heart. His books celebrate the growth that happens between the starting blocks and the finish line, reminding readers that every effort counts, whether in sports or everyday life.

Miles lives in Maryland with his wife—the love of his life—and their three energetic kids, who serve as his in-house inspiration and toughest critics. When he’s not at a swim meet or writing about one, you can find him coaching confidence from the sidelines, exploring local restaurants, or sketching ideas for the next Swim Stars story.
