Thomas D. Lee is a British author known for his fresh take on Arthurian legends and his ability to blend humor with thought-provoking themes. His debut novel, "Perilous Times," reimagines the Arthurian mythos in a contemporary setting, exploring timeless questions of heroism and morality. Lee holds an MA in Creative Writing from the University of Manchester and is pursuing a PhD focused on queer interpretations of these classic tales.
Lee's writing often merges historical and fantastical elements with modern sensibilities, reflecting his belief in literature as a tool for envisioning a better future. While his work tackles weighty themes, he maintains a sharp wit, aiming to entertain as much as to provoke thought. Beyond his academic and literary pursuits, Lee humorously muses about following Merlin's example by retreating to the woods—a nod to his deep engagement with the Arthurian legends he studies.
