Behind the stories

About Lee

Old magic. Complicated families. The freedom to choose who you become.

Lee Ransom writes urban fantasy and queer romance about the things we inherit—and the lives we choose for ourselves.

Root & Road brings Appalachian folklore and inherited magic into the modern world, where family ties can offer shelter, demand loyalty, and pull you back long after you thought you had left.

At the heart of these stories are men finding their way toward each other, carrying complicated pasts into uncertain futures. Love matters here. So do the choices that come after it.

Expect old bargains, tangled loyalties, and magic with consequences.
