Lee Mims
Lee Mims grew up as a sickly kid, stricken with constant bouts of croup. It was during these times of illness, with the confinement of a croup tent, that she remembers as being magical instead of boring, all because her mom read to her. After years of raising and training countless horses, two children, a multitude of dogs and cats, reading books as an escape grew into a desire to write them, too. It seemed a shame to have as many careers as she’d had and not write about them.
