About Lee

I'm married with two grown daughters. I have a BA in Film from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and have worked in a variety of industries, including public relations, the theater business, University education, municipal government as a computer network administrator, and as a WGA-Signatory Literary Agent selling to Hollywood studios and New York publishing. As an author, I have published 7 books, including 4 novels, 3 non-fiction books and authored/optioned/published numerous screenplays and articles. Currently, I have several screenplays in the works. I am currently working on another non-fiction book on my unique take on story structure.

Unique traits: Warped sense of humor. Large film book library--hundreds. Collects screen and stage plays in digital form. Huge library--30,000+ I went to college with Willem Dafoe and made a couple of amateur videos with him. As an agent, among many projects, I sold two STAR TREK scripts, one of which introduced the recurring character, Reg Barclay. And I worked with James Doohan on a short film.
