Michael A Lee Author & Illustrator

Michael A. Lee, known also by 'Tony', is a 64 year old man whose wife of 36 years and 2 sons, aged 25 and 27, say looks like a Yorkshire fusion of Larry David, Eddie the Eagle and Junior Soprano. Michael describes himself as a fascinating polymath with the bearing of an Emperor, the intelligence of Einstein, the wisdom of Solomon and the Insight of Socrates and also regards himself a very modest man who is well aware that delusion can be a dangerous gift. The humour which underpins his creative writing has been influenced over the years by great comedy as delivered by Spike Milligan, The Goons and The Monty Python team and more.

Michael divides much of his time between West Yorkshire and Scotland where he enjoys hiking, cycling, cold water swimming, kayaking, gardening and, often, getting under his retired wife's feet. Michael also provides after-dinner and motivational talks designed to inspire, motivate and energize.
