Rick Lee

    This author grew up on the periphery, observing the world from a distance with initial wariness. This observational skill, honed through a career as a drama teacher, translates into writing where characters and stories are explored deeply. Writing is described as a passion that allows for escape into chosen worlds and a means to exorcise inner demons. The detective genre is favored for its interrogative nature and outsider perspective, while the murderer represents a fascination with the ultimate boundaries of human experience.
