Lee is a true gamer. Lee loves real time strategy and first person shooters, and that is why his stories often involve tactical decisions and quick thinking, dangerous combat situations and unit control. Battle maps often occur in his stories. However, too much gaming can be bad for the brain, so Lee spends time writing. His writing is impacted by his gaming experiences, especially strategy games.
Along the way, he learned a lot about the writing craft through various authors and author created tutorials. The biggest influences on his writing in terms of craft is Scott Meredith (Writing to Sell), Brandon Sanderson's Creative Writing Lectures (on youtube), George RR Martin (just by watching GoT), Doug Dandridge, Matt Hughes, and his own thinking on how to perfect the craft.
The biggest influences on him in terms of subject matter has to be John Dalmas (Soldiers), David Weber (which military sci fi fan isn't?), William C Dietz (Legion of the Damned), Ian Douglas (Star Carrier Series), Bill Baldwin (Helmsman Series),
Lee loves reading military science fiction books. Among those he's read include Ryk Brown, Jay Allen, David Adams's Lacuna series, starcraft books and short stories, Jack Campbell's Lost Fleet series, .... etc. These readings heavily impact his writing.
In the end, Lee is a big space battle fan. His stories mostly evolve around military space adventures set in the far distant future. Lee hopes one day that he'll be called the Jackie Chan of space battles.
