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.

love

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • My Art Journey

    From Childhood Scribbles to a Family of Creators If you had asked eight-year-old me what I wanted to be when I grew up, the answer would have been simple:A writer. An artist.
