C. Warde Lee has always had a passion for stories, but wasn't content to just read stories from other people's imaginations. During the pandemic his children asked for a different original story each night, which Warde had to make up on the spot. Some of the characters from those stories stuck with him and demanded to be put in proper writing so others could read about their adventures. Those are the characters filling out the world of Warde's debut novel, The Stolen Idol.
When Warde isn't writing about fairies and centaurs he works for several libraries and is a proud father and husband. While he was born and raised in Utah, he has called California home for nearly thirteen years.
