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.

  • Time Is More Than a Clock

    Behind the Mirror For years, I believed I was simply struggling to finish my stories. I would sit in front of my computer, rewriting scenes over and over again. I questioned chapter order, character motivations, and even whether the stories deserved to be told at all. The biggest question that haunted me was one I… Read more

  • Behind the Mirror

    Growth Often Begins with a Pause “Sometimes the hardest path isn’t finding the story… it’s finding the courage to tell it honestly.” It has been almost a week since I last shared an update, and during that time, I’ve done a great deal of reflecting—not only on my stories, but on myself as a writer.… Read more

  • Sometimes we have to take a step back to move forward

    Today, I removed my books from Amazon. If you’ve followed my writing journey or supported my work over the years, I want to begin by saying thank you. Every encouraging message, every shared post, every review, and every book purchased has reminded me that stories have a way of finding the people who need them.… Read more

  • When My Characters Started Telling My Story

    For most of my life, I believed I was writing about other people. I wrote about broken hearts.About loss.About courage.About children searching for hope.About people trying to forgive themselves for things they could never change. Whenever someone would ask where the ideas came from, I always had the same answer. “Real life.” These stories were… Read more

  • 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. As writers, we often hear advice about consistency, discipline, and daily word counts. While those things certainly have their place, I have learned that some stories refuse to be rushed.… Read more

  • Celebrating the Small Steps

    Today was a good day. It may not seem like much to anyone else, but today I finally wrote the chapter that has been quietly waiting for me for months. The words that had refused to come suddenly found their way onto the page, and before I knew it, they led me into the next… Read more

  • Not Failure, But Preparation

    For the longest time, I have been telling myself that I am doing better since the divorce. In many ways, I am. I am slowly becoming the person I truly am and letting go of the version of myself I had to be for so many years. For those who may be new to my… 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

  • New Home New Journey

    On Friday, April 24th, I stepped into a new chapter of my life and into my new home. I made sure to take a little time off so I could enjoy the transition and settle into my new surroundings. Moving always comes with surprises, and mine showed up almost immediately. Shortly after selling my previous… Read more

  • Moving Forward

    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. During that time, I had opportunities to stay with others, but I chose something different. I stayed in an… Read more
