Patrick Lee Biography – About the Author

Patrick Lee was born in West Michigan in 1976. As a major gamer, he spent a lot of his teen years playing Nintendo video games. He also loved creative writing assignments during classes in school.

Being a movie buff, in his early 20s he wrote two screenplays which he sold to Hollywood studies, however, none of them have been picked up or turned into movies.

When he reached his early 30s, he decided that writing novels is what he wants to do going forward, unless he wanted to spend the rest of his life on the couches of relatives.

So far Patrick Lee has written 5 novels, the Travis Chase trilogy and two novels in the Sam Dryden series, both in the techno-thriller genre.

The first book to appear in hardcover is Runner, the first novel in the Sam Dryder thriller series. Sam is on the run with a teenage girl who is fearing for her life, and with good reason.

The movie rights have been bought by Warner Brothers, and I’m looking forward to hearing that it will be actually made.

Patrick Lee’s debut novel, The Breach, is the first book in the Travis Chase trilogy, and it was picked up by Janet Reid at Fineprint literary agency, who sold it as well as the second one to HarperCollins, which became the author’s main publisher.

In writing his books, Patrick Lee doesn’t like to outline the story. Instead, he prefers to go where the flow takes him. Once he gets deep into the plot, he knows where the story will need to go to end on the right note. This way, he doesn’t have to strictly rely on an outline, especially since interesting ideas come to the author even very late in the process of fleshing out the plot.

Patrick Lee’s books are often characterized as science fiction techno-thrillers, as the author likes mixing technology with dangerous stories and plots. For his research for his books, Patrick often draws from his knowledge from books he has read over the years both in fiction and non-fiction.

From all the books I’ve read by Patrick Lee, I think The Breach is my all time favorite. Like the rest of the books, it focuses heavily on technology and the wonders – and dangers it can create. I just finished reading Daniel Suarez‘s Demon series and I was looking for something else in the same gritty techno-thriller genre. Once I’ve read Breach, I was hooked!
