Jennifer Lee (Author)

Fantasy that lingers long after the last page

About Me

Hi, I’m Jennifer Lee, an author drawn to the space where darkness meets understanding. Writing has always been my way of exploring the fragile balance between hope and despair — and finding meaning in the shadows.
My novels, Far From Oz and Falling from Neverland, unravel haunting yet heartfelt stories about truth, loss, and healing. My upcoming book, Free from the Looking Glass, continues that journey, reflecting on identity and the illusions we must break to find ourselves.
Through my stories, I hope to reach those who’ve ever felt lost or unseen — reminding them that even in darkness, there is light to be found.

  • When the Wheels of Creation Begin to Turn Again

    There is something magical about feeling the wheels of creation begin to turn once more after a project has remained silent for far too long.

  • More Than a Retelling: The Story Behind Falling from Neverland

    For a long time, I have talked about Far From Oz—sharing chapters, discussing the characters, and celebrating the journey it took to bring that story to life.

Learning something completely new… Read more

  • The Beginnings of a New Idea

    A new story has been forming in my mind. In a world where ancient tribes carry the marks of divine beings, three powers have always ruled: Judgment, Protection, and Balance. But prophecy warns of a fourth mark. Chaos. My main character, Logan, was never meant to carry anything. Born a twin, he was supposed to… Read more

  • Progress Over Perfection

    How I’m learning to use creative tools to bring stories like Far from Oz to life. When I first started writing, I relied on simple editing tools to help shape my work.

  • Far from Oz — When Connection Is the Only Escape

    Sometimes the most powerful stories aren’t about leaving a place — they’re about being seen inside it. There is a quiet kind of loneliness that doesn’t scream. It doesn’t break things. It doesn’t rage. It simply waits — in the corners of rooms, in the weight of silence, in the spaces where voices should be.… Read more

  • The Story Behind the Happy Little Series 🦋

  • Change, One Step at a Time

    In my last post, I talked about the other side of self-publishing—the part that isn’t glamorous, the part that doesn’t always get shared. What I didn’t realize at the time was that post was only the beginning of a much larger conversation about change. Over the past year and a half, my life has shifted… Read more
