Her life took an unfortunate turn when her employers at the Macomb Daily fired her. Little did she know that her unemployment was a blessing in disguise. She quickly joined a club of Michigan writers with six-figure incomes, a rarity in the self-publishing arena.

When Lee decided to dedicate her life to writing, her friends and family thought she would spend her days watching soap operas and feeling sorry for herself.

Instead, she self-published her first novel in 2011, a book about a plucky reporter in Macomb County. The author peppered the story with elements of real life, including characters inspired by actual people.

Even though Lee’s debut novel was a success, it wasn’t until she released ‘Wicked Witches of the Midwest’ that her career skyrocketed. Turning her mother, aunts, and cousins into witches and inserting them into the story, Lee’s mystery series pushed all the right buttons in her audience, renewing interest in her bibliography and attracting readers from all corners of the globe.

Two years after she was fired, the Macomb Daily rehired the author. They assigned Lee to the high school sports beat, which other reporters would have hated because it meant working in the evenings.

But Lee was grateful because she’s a night owl, and she had no qualms about accomplishing the demands of her day job, writing fiction until 5 a.m., and sleeping until 1 pm.

The author was earning $45,000 annually from her day job. But after a while, Lee noticed that she was making a whopping $50,000 a month from her novels.

She did not expect those figures to rise any higher, but they did. And in response, the author panicked. She started to wonder whether she could keep up. She was also convinced that her success would suddenly stall and her fortunes would plummet, forcing her to rely on her earnings as a reporter.

But her worst fears never materialized, which is why she finally abandoned the newspaper in 2015. She treats her publishing career as a proper job, writing for six hours every day. That doesn’t include the hours she spends on marketing.

The author attributes her success to the dedication of romance readers. The genre has a rabid audience that has an insatiable appetite for romance novels. Lee’s best books:

Any Witch Way You Can: Bay edits the local newspaper. Nonetheless, her presence attracts suspicion when a body is discovered in a corn maze. The police don’t like what they see. As far as they can tell, the murder has something to do with the occult.

Bay couldn’t have asked for a worse assessment. She comes from a line of real-life witches, and the last thing she wants is for her lineage to generate the sort of anxiety in her community that leads to panic.

But the townspeople are not Bay’s only concern. She has a random but hot biker guy to contend with, not to mention the zit her aunt’s curse summoned. She must learn to cut through the noise to identify the killer hiding among her neighbors.

Every Witch Way But Wicked: Bay works with the local weekly newspaper. But even with her editing duties, she has more than enough time to attend the upcoming murder mystery weekend. She was excited for the event, which promised food and plenty of opportunities to frolic.

But then the town drunk ruined everything. Someone had murdered him, but not one could figure out why. Bay wanted to investigate.

But her new boss and an FBI agent kept getting in her way. And as far as Bay could tell, business wasn’t the only thing they had in mind.

Her family was making things worse. Thistle had a bone to pick with their Great-Aunt Tillie, who had recently cursed them. On the other hand, cousin Clove was determined to disprove her family’s opinions of her.

Bay thought she could juggle them all: her family and the demands of the case. But then the investigation took an unexpected turn, and a long-held secret was revealed. Now, Bay is in serious trouble.
