Born in 1963, Lee Rutty had one ambition: to write compelling science-fiction stories and novels. He even put down on his first apartment lease, under Profession: Writer. Real life intervened. He wasn't seasoned enough as a human being or writer to make that happen, so instead he spent 30 years building a family and a career in IT. From code monkey to manager, he clawed his way up the ladder. He hasn't quit his day job, but finally he has re-started his first and dearest dream, and has taken up writing again. Hopefully more seasoned, both as a person and a writer. 

He lives in beautiful Cape Elizabeth, Maine. With his wife Alison he has three children: Charlotte, Stuart and Henry.
