Jim Lee hails from a small Pennsylvania town better known for producing an early movie Tarzan (Johnny Weismuller), the DJ credited with popularizing the term "Rock n Roll" (Alan Freed), and millions of tons of coal dust. Jim's short stories, poetry and nonfiction has been appearing in various venues since 1982. He appears (as a suitably creepy zombie) in the low-budget film ZOMBIE DREAM, scheduled for release in April 2014.

Jim recently co-founded Sanctuary of Steele, Inc., a fledgling nonprofit dedicated to assisting creative people facing serious life challenges.
