Lee Weatherly
The daughter of a psychiatrist and a drama teacher, Lee Weatherly was born in 1967 in Little Rock, Arkansas, USA. She moved to the UK in 1995, and now lives in Hampshire with her husband.
Before her first book was published in 2002, Lee did a variety of different jobs, from working in a ski resort to being a secretary. But writing is what she always dreamed of, and her first book, 'Child X', was published in June 2002. It is about a thirteen-year-old girl whose father leaves home when he discovers he is not her biological father. It was short-listed for several prizes in Britain and the USA.
Lee now works from home, writing and doing freelance editorial work. Her hobbies include reading, dancing, cooking and walking. She's also very interested in helping talented teenage writers, and will be working with local schools to set up a mentoring programme. 'Them' was first published in 2006.
