About the Author: Furman Lee grew up in Northern Utah, surrounded by the Rocky Mountains, where he still lives with his wife and 4 sons. At five years old, the TV broke in Lee's home and his parents could not afford to replace it for another seven years. Books then became a means of escape and adventure for him and thus began a lifetime love of literature. Lee holds an MBA and a BA in Public Relations with a Minor in English Lit. However, as an attention starved middle child of a large Mormon family, his need to remain the center of attention pushed him toward careers as a Corporate Trainer, College Instructor, and Motivational Speaker for high school students. Additionally, he lived in Portugal for two years, studying Theology amongst the castles and cobblestone streets of the Old World. Inspiration for Lee's writing includes everything from Medieval History to comic books and from Louis L'amour to video games. Ultimately however, he finds what truly motivates him to write is his inner child, still longing for good stories and captivating the attention of others. When not writing or chasing kids with his wife, Lee spends his time officiating high school football and basketball, snowmobiling, riding ATV's, and playing video games.
