Christmas novellas

His inspirational Christmas novellas will remind you of Christmases past when your grandmother pulled piping hot cookies out of the oven and everyone gathered around the living room to open gifts and maybe sing a few carols.

They’ll also remind you that God sometimes chooses to step into the here and now by sending heavenly beings to encourage and challenge us.

Small-town romance

His small-town Christian romances are set on the wide-open Nebraska prairie, where second chances are even wider than the sky.

They are stories of faith, forgiveness and the kind of love that shows up after you’ve stopped looking for it. Come for the small-town charm. Stay for the grace.

Beyond the Books

When Lee isn’t writing essays, devotional material or Christmas novellas, he is a freelance editor, as well as a freelance journalist who has written hundreds of articles for various newspapers and magazines.

He’s also a fan of NASCAR, baseball, tennis, books, movies and coffee shops.
