Summary: Welcome to my world
Review: Hi. Welcome to 'the Storms of Summer'. It's my first novel, so I'd like to be the one to tell you about it.***** When Rick Hannon lost his wife to a senseless robbery-shooting, the life he'd carefully built since being found in his late teens, with no memory, fell apart like sand-castles in the rain. Not even knowing why, he turned to the sea. What he was to find, in the life of a sailor, and in the eyes of a lovely young seafaring hitchhiker named Sunny, would change everything he thought he knew about the world he'd called home. In fact...it changed everything he thought he knew about himself, and the world to which she led him was to become an introduction to a life he'd been born to live, a land he'd been born to rule, and powers unsuspected that he alone had been born to wield. Enter the world of Altahan, and learn with Rikhannon of Kestra what it means to be Lord of the Sword, and heir to the Gifts of a race that had built an amazing civilization before Man walked the planet. Speak with dragons, meet the Brothers of the Waves, and find the real depths of your heart in a love so complete that it would last through all the Seasons of Altahan. ***** Combining my own love of sailing, the sword, and a touch of magic, this book was a joy to write, and I hope you'll find it an equal joy to read. There's more to the story, by the way. The Tides of Autumn should be available in about a year.

Summary: Can't wait for the Sequel!
Review: I first became familiar with Mr. Lee's writing through his poetry and his writings about poetry. Intrigued with his style and creativity, I ordered this novel. I must admit to being a little aprehension since Science fiction and fantasy are not areas in which I generally read. His book has definitely helped make me a convert. Engaging characters and an interesting but easy to follow plot have changed my opinion of the genre. I thought the ending was particularly well-done. So often in a planned series, the endings leave the reader purposely disatisfied. Lee managed to resolve the plot and still left me excited about the sequel. It's the characters that will keep you reading! I highly recommend this book to new and old readers of science fiction/fantasy books or anyone who wants a fast and engaging read. The nautical theme would make it a great choice for summer reading at the beach too.
