He is currently pursuing a degree in economics and has a background in physics and philosophy. Any chance he gets, he likes to work various concepts and ideas from these topics into his writings.

He has also had a short story, Auto-Frankology, featured with one of the longest running science fiction, horror and fantasy magazines, Starburst Magazine, in their online Original Fiction category.

Lee weaves intricate literary tapestries that display engrossing plot lines and baffling outcomes.

Doris Gooderson 2012 Shorty Story Competition – Honorable Mention

Recently I submitted my works, Room No. 4 at The Spectrum and Getting Even, into the short fiction contest through Wrekin Writers based in the UK. The deadline was July 9th 2012 and the guidelines were a maximum word count of 12oo words.

 

I did not win. However, Room No. 4 at The Spectrum, was mentioned on the short list of runner ups. As well, I was the only American that made it to the finals (who knows, maybe I was the only American to submit).

Congratulations to the winners. I feel honored just to be mentioned as this was not a scifi competition. This was just a short story competition, which means the Room No. 4 at The Spectrum is a solid story. There were over 200 entries according to the site, Doris Gooderson Short Story Competition 2012 Winners & Runner Ups

 

A note to my readers, they misspelled my name. I am listed as James Lea. Since in the UK Lea is the more common spelling of Lee, I imagine they looked at my submission and said to themselves, “This silly wank, doesn’t even know how to spell his last name.”

Regardless of the misspelling of my name, as I mentioned, I am honored to simply be mentioned.
