ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Before James Lee became an author, he was an advertising guru. He judged some of the world’s top creative advertising award shows and lectured in New York, Shanghai, Toronto, Sydney, Melbourne and Thailand. During a long career, he won over 600 awards, many for advertisements he wrote in Chinese. Since 1994, Lee has written more than 100 children’s books. Besides the Mr Midnight horror series, Lee is also the author of the equally successful Mr Mystery series. In 2013, the Australian government honored Lee with the Australian Arts In Asia Literature Award for both series. Lee has lived and worked in Asia for over two decades. To better understand Asian cultures, Lee acquired a working knowledge of a few Asian languages. Lee also wrote Howl and The Young Immortals. He now lives in Australia. Lee is married and has a daughter.
