Women Who Reign: K.T. Lee

“Hold fast to dreams For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.”
-Langston Hughes

Tell us about yourself along with a fun fact!
I’m a mom, an author and a mechanical engineer. I work in the medical industry by day and write novels by night (or whenever I can fit it in!).

While working as an engineer, I love combining creativity and knowledge to solve challenging problems! When writing my novels, I put my creativity to work in a different way by writing fun, page-turning novels featuring women in STEM fighting crime. I personally love to read books I can escape into and wanted to create a world my readers would want to spend time in, even as they’re turning pages to make sure the characters come through everything alright.

My fun fact is that I love to do improv comedy! I perform fairly regularly with a small group — my improv friends are so funny that just showing up to a show or practice is guaranteed to brighten my week. And making other people laugh is pretty great too.
