About Lee White

Growing up between the Yukon and Vancouver Island, Lee’s imagination has been shaped by wilderness as much as by culture. He followed the notion of “doing everything at least once for the novel” adventuring around the world and settling in the Comox Valley.

Lee studied writing under Richard B. Wright and writing books from Canadian mountaineering legend Chic Scott. Lee has published two versions of rapt in awe a philosophy book written in part in rap verse.

and then we dance is the culmination of Lee’s path, a novel project 20 years in the works.
