Steve-N-Lee

I live in the north of England with my partner, Ania (a therapist for special needs kids). My first novel has just been published - 'What if...?', an eco-suspense thriller with a philosophical twist (see www.steve-n-lee.com) - and I've just launched a blog called Lions Led By Sheep which explores environmental, conservation, and rights issues.
