About Lee Rivers
Lee Rivers spent his formative years growing up in the countryside. His mother was a librarian and consistently tried to get him interested in reading but he preferred playing with his friends outdoors. He eventually went on to graduate in finance and IT realizing he had to eventually read and worked for many years in the corporate world for international businesses.
When his two boys were young they would ask for bedtime stories and since he was not an avid reader of stories he would make up his own on the spot. He would ask them the question, "give me something to start with, like an apple, a place, etc" and then would create the story then and there. After the children were older he was asked, "Hey dad, you never finished that story about ...," and this spurred him to actually write them as a present for his kids.
The day he decided to write he spotted an ad on the internet about the National Novel Writing Month Contest and decided this would give him a deadline of 30 days to write a novel. By day 17 he had already hit 50377 words and by the end he had a written a 102,133 word novel winning him the award. This from someone who did not even like to read, so it was a nice milestone and he promised his kids he would complete all the stories and write a few more for the readers to enjoy.
Each book in the series will be with different characters, places and storyline but after writing the first book a sequel may follow but at a later time.
Book I is complete with book II, II and IV in progress.
Lee spends his spare time writing and recording music, watching English comedy on the BBC, recently learned the art of cooking and tries to exercise between his tasty but not so healthy recipes. His secret "Pico de Gallo", a salsa from the Mexican Yucatan is a friends and family favorite.
