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.

    The Next Step Today marks the beginning of a new chapter in my journey. I am closing on the purchase of my new home. Three weeks ago, I sold the house that held so many memories.

  • Living in Limbo

    I recently sold my home — a place that held nearly three decades of memories. Letting go of something that has been part of your life for that long is not an easy decision. Yet toward the end of the process, I truly felt that the move was guided by something greater than myself. My… Read more

  • Another step in my Journey

    The Other Side of Self-Publishing When people talk about self-publishing, the focus is often on the writing, the editing, and the moment you finally hold your finished book in your hands. What doesn’t get talked about enough is the other side of self-publishing—the marketing, the vulnerability, and the constant battle with fear and doubt. Marketing… Read more
